Classic Exterior, Luxurious Interior

The Royal Palace Amsterdam, with its thoroughly classical exterior and luxurious interior structure, was created by several of the best architects and sculptors of the time. 

The walls and roof of the palace were artistically created over a long period of time by leading artists such as Artus Quellinus, a famous sculptor at the time, and Ferdinand Bol and Govert Flinck, Rembrandt's students. Because of how much it cost, more funds were needed than the construction budget planned by the city of Amsterdam, so construction of the New Church (De Nieuwe Kerk), which was being built at the same time, was temporarily suspended. After all this effort, it was completed in 1665.

Symbol of Dutch Classicist Architecture

The Royal Palace Amsterdam in the Netherlands is a symbol of 17th-century Dutch classicist architecture and has served as the political center of Amsterdam and the Netherlands for nearly 200 years. When the Netherlands was occupied by France, Louis Napoleon, the brother of Emperor Napoleon, used it as a palace, and many of the luxurious furniture and decorations were brought in during the Napoleonic occupation.
