The secrets of the Oude Binnenhof

The House of Representatives has been in a temporary location for almost four years. And the Senate and the Ministry of General Affairs also had to go to another accommodation while the Oude Binnenhof is being renovated. The end of the renovation, which would only last five years, is not nearly in sight.

But despite that renovation, there is still plenty to find. All kinds of archaeological finds were made during the renovation – and the more recent parliamentary history also tells a story. Together with Titia Ketelaar and Hanna Hosman we will travel this week through the rich history of the Binnenhof.
