Royal Theatre

Located in the heart of The Hague, the Koninklijke Schouwburg or Royal Theatre is one of the Netherlands' leading theatres, with the Dutch National Theatre as permanent artists in residence. This is a very modern theatre in a classic house.  

The Koninklijke Schouwburg was originally built as a palace. Prince Karel Christiaan van Nassau-Weilburg and his wife Princess Carolina van Orange-Nassau had it designed in 1776 by architect Pieter de Swart. De Swart designed a three-storey building in Louis XVI style, formed around a strongly curved semicircular cour d'honneur.
