One of the royal Dutch palaces. I forgot what it’s used for these days.
The adjacent park is really nice and the palace gardens are also beautiful.

It’s presently a state museum. The garden is magnificent, in its own way.

It’s not mentioned often, but all these palaces were pretty much paid for by colonial trade and slavery. They’re remarkable to look at, and should be preserved nonetheless.
