Part Three Of “Het Loo Palace” The Palace

Compared to the French, Germans and English, the Dutch are very modest, a bunch of people who doesn’t like displaying off their riches. Well that is the stereotype however there's a few fact behind it as well. Which is the cause why castles and palaces inside the Netherlands are smaller and less pompous than its neighbours.

Het Loo Palace become constructed for King William III (Prince of Orange) and Mary II of England. The royal couple dominated England, Ireland, Scotland and the Dutch Republic (now Netherlands) between 1689 - 1702. William III is called William II and King Billy in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In the Dutch Republic, he's referred to as Willem, the stadthouder.

During this Late Middle Ages to the Age of Discovery Period (1500’s to 1700’s), the royal families in England and the Dutch Republic had been intermarrying. The royal households generally tend to marry every different to keep their name, wealth and ruling power in tact. It may be very thrilling to note how a Dutch Prince have become the King of England, Ireland and Scotland with the aid of overthrowing King James II of England from his throne, certainly because of faith. King James II is Catholic while Stadtholder and Prince William is Protestant, which as we all realize, England and Scotland are largely protestant countries, and Mary II as queen consort, the deal become sealed. Religion, politics and a monarchy bethrothal are a lethal combination.

The Dutch Royal family are descendants of the House of Nassau in Germany. It was William the Silent (William I or William of Orange - Willem van Oranje) who led the revolution towards the Spanish Habsburg for the independence of the Dutch Republic. The battle lasted 80 years. William I is consequently the founder of the House of Oranje-Nassau.

History is interesting. I encourage you to read in addition to your very own =)

After the reign and duration of William and Mary, the palace became the residence of the “Oranges” – the House of Orange-Nassau aka the Dutch Royal own family for hundreds of years and generations up till 1962 whilst the remaining reigning monarch, Queen Wilhelmina gave the palace to the Dutch government beneath the circumstance that if the Netherlands emerge as a republic, the palace will be given again to the Dutch Royal family.

The palace is the eighth maximum visited museum within the Netherlands.

What can I say approximately the palace? Well, to be blunt approximately it, I noticed plenty of possessions and art work of lengthy long gone useless humans. The interior design changed into too busy on the eye, too many styles and bright colorings. So tons awareness on collecting stuff that most effective gathers dirt. I am a minimalist. I do respect the interior design of positive rooms although.

There turned into one salon that became the spotlight for me. It had a actual animal component, an elephant’s trunk as lamp holder?! There were bushy hides with heads of the animal as ground rugs. Hunting excursion trophies which could have been scandalous these days. But yeah, those were the days...

Well, allow me simply placed it this way. It is exciting to look how the only a few born with a silver spoon and name lived in those days.
