Art cabinet of King Willem III, 1869. Paleis het Loo, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
Paleis Het Loo is a large baroque palace with magnificent formal gardens in Apeldoorn in Gelderland in the Netherlands. It was the hunting lodge and summer palace of the House of Orange from the time of William and Mary – stadtholder of the Netherlands and later king and queen of England. The Dutch royals used the palace as residence from the late 17th century until 1975. The palace now houses a museum on the Dutch royals with a remarkable collection of furniture, paintings, and other decorative objects from the 17th century to the present. The gardens were recently restored to a typical Dutch baroque design. Although the gardens fail to rival the size and splendor of Versailles, the King’s Leap (Koningssprong) was at 13 m the highest spouting fountain in Europe at the time. The palace and gardens are open year round and usually only closed on New Year’s Day. Apeldoorn is around an hour’s drive from Amsterdam or 90 minutes using trains and buses.
