Royal and Political The Hague for Kids, 4 of 10: Noordeinde Palace Garden (Paleistuin)


The Paleistuin is a one-hectare park behind Noordeinde Palace, laid out in the English landscape style with winding paths, lawns, a pond and a sculpture garden. From the paths you see the back of the palace and the Royal Stables. A play area was added in 2008.
In 1785 Jean-Pierre Blanchard took off from this garden in the first crewed balloon flight in the Netherlands.
