The Ridderzaal

Binnenhof 8a, The Hague

Construction of the Ridderzaal began under Count Willem II of Holland, who also held the title of King of the Romans. Work began in 1248 and was completed under his son, Count Floris V of Holland, around 1280. The Counts of Holland used the building for festive occasions. In 1432 and 1456, for example, Philip the Good of Burgundy received the chapter of the Order of the Golden Fleece here.
