A Place with History For more than 350 years, the location at Prinsegracht 45-47 has been closely intertwined with the history of The Hague. Although the canal has since disappeared from the streetscape, as of 2026 the building still forms a recognisable piece of The Hague’s history. The current building was constructed in 1908-1909 as a district court, designed by government architect W.C. Metzelaar, who designed courthouses and prisons throughout the Netherlands. With its distinctive yellow brickwork, characteristic eight-sided tower and imposing wide staircase, the building has a stately appearance. Once inside, this atmosphere is further enhanced: the architecture and historic details are reminders of the building’s special function and rich history. The splendour of the former district court can still be felt today, making the building a tangible reminder of The Hague’s past. Living on the Prinsegracht This means living with everything The Hague has to offer within easy reach. From this central location, you can walk straight into the lively city centre, where you can enjoy a wide variety of shops, cosy cafés and excellent restaurants. Stroll through the Grote Marktstraat, discover the shops on the Spui or walk towards the Noordeinde. There are plenty of possibilities for an evening out: watch a film at the cinema or enjoy a performance at the Koninklijke Schouwburg. Admire the impressive collection at the Mauritshuis or walk past Paleis Noordeinde and through the surrounding historic city centre. Would you rather seek some peace and quiet? The Koninklijke Paleistuinen are a wonderful place to escape the liveliness of the city for a while. And thanks to the excellent transport connections, you can also reach Scheveningen beach quickly. Accessibility The city centre ring road is easily accessible by car from the street. The location is also excellent when it comes to public transport.
