Museum with beautiful interiors, paintings and objects, an address to dive into the life of a royal family.
The Paleis Het Loo was the residence of the House of Orange-Nassau until 1962. For over 30 years, it has been a national museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the life of a royal family. It features magnificent interiors, paintings and objects. Numerous temporary exhibitions are also organized. The magnificent gardens were designed by Claude Desgots, nephew of Le Nôtre. The palace reopened in 2023 after extensive renovation work. It's one of the country's most visited museums, and for good reason: it's a truly unique place to discover.

Owner's Message
Het Loo Palace is a royal palace built between 1684 and 1686 in Apeldoorn. It was the residence of the House of Orange-Nassau, of King William III from the time of its completion until the death of Queen Wilhelmina in 1962. The buildings were renovated between 1976 and 1982 and in 1984 became a national museum open to the public, inaugurated by Queen Beatrix.
The rooms and furnished halls of the palace show how the royal family lived and worked there for 300 years. The baroque gardens were laid out symmetrically according to 17th century designs and are unique in the Netherlands! The stables and carriage houses, built by order of Queen Wilhelmina, are located in the Stables Square.
Het Loo Palace is included in the list of the 100 most beautiful historical buildings in the Netherlands!

Été 2020 - Des jardins magnifiques !!!, avec beaucoup de fontaines différentes !
Nous y étions pour la journée des princes et princesses. Le temps étrangement chaud a rendu difficile de tout faire/voir avec des (petits) enfants. Le parc n'est pas totalement adapté aux fauteuils roulants (ou aux poussettes).
Les princes et princesses étaient à peine visibles (probablement en partie à cause des températures étrangement élevées). Le petit restaurant où nous avons commandé un sandwich a pris beaucoup de temps (+/- 42 minutes par sandwich), ce qui est en fait trop long pour de (jeunes) enfants. La boutique de souvenirs était magnifique, mais j'ai trouvé dommage qu'il n'y ait que peu d'objets du palais lui-même (bien que de beaux objets royaux)
Dans l'ensemble, j'ai beaucoup apprécié cette visite, mais mes attentes étaient différentes.
J'espère y retourner un jour avec des températures normales et des enfants qui ne sont plus dépendants de la voiture
