Built as the new city hall of Amsterdam in the 17th Century, this building was converted into the Royal Palace when King Louis Napoleon (1808-1873) came to Amsterdam. Today, the Palace is still used by the Queen for meetings and other official functions. When dignitaries are not occupying the building, tours are available. The furnishings are mostly from the period it was built, boasting impressive chandeliers, paintings, and sculptures. The palace is currently closed for renovations and will be re-opening in 2008.
