Huis+Huguentan


 * Huis Huguetan is a palace that was once owned by a very wealthy lady by the name of Adrienne Marguerite Huguetan. It currently houses the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. **


 * The Huis Huguetan is an old building that dates back to 1734. It was build for Adrienne Marguerite Huguetan, a Hugonaut and the daughter of a wealthy banker, who owned the house and lived there until she died. Marguerite moved into the house around the year 1734 and expanded the middle part of this beautiful palace with the help of Italian artisans. Daniel Marot was the architect who built this house in the style of France's King LouisIV. The next occupant of the house was Jan van Tuyll. He had previously owned the property next to Huis Huguetan and decided to purchase it after the death of Adrienne Marguerite Hugutean. The house hold much history as King William I lived there in 1813, the Royal Library was housed there in 1819-1982. After it's time as the Royal library, Huis Hugutean received a complete renovation and restoration as well as additional building added to the property. It currently hold the Supreme Court until their new facility is finished in 2016. When it's finished housing the Supreme Court, it will become the temporary home to the Senate, Goverment Affairs Office, and more. It is slated to start a new journey in 2023 as it has no plans for the future. Considering the historically significant past one can only wonder what is in store for the famous palalce known as the Huis Hugutean. **


 * I hope when we travel to France, we get to see this beautiful building and landmark. Huis Huguetan has a lot of history and I would love to experience being in a place that has such an old and dated backstory and to see how history really played out there. **
