temporarily closed

The seventeenth century has been a significant period for the Netherlands, both architecturally and economically. This is  reflected in the interior and the use of color in the palace. Pigments are mixed; this created many new tones and saturations. The first elements return to the palace. It must have looked like this in the days…

While many rooms are being prepared for the return of the collection, peace seems to have returned to the chapel. The 17th-century palace has been closed since 2018 due to the major asbestos remediation, resulting from the Government Buildings Agency Asbestos Policy Regulation. For Paleis Het Loo, the Renewal & Renovation is a good time…

The first collection items have returned to the palace. The rooms are still empty, thus plenty of space for the collection items to be properly housed. Everything, from placement to moving around within a 17th century palace, is carefully thought through to refrain from making even a scratch.  

The floor in the Marot library is carefully being sanded. The old high-gloss lacquer is removed after which the 17th-century character of the floor reappears.  

The centuries-old walls of Paleis Het Loo will be covered with beautiful fabrics and wallpapers. Company Oostendorp specialises in this craft and works within the palace with utmost care and diligence.  

The stairs at the front of Paleis Het Loo has been rebuild. Centuries-old bricks from the palace and a modern-day buildingmaterial such as cement show old and new merge. The cross vaults under the stairs are formed by using molds. The connection between the underground extension and the palace is now ‘set in stone’.

The palace will open its doors to the public again this April 15, 2022.
