The story behind the place

The Peace Palace in The Hague was built in the neo-Renaissance style. French architect Louis Cordonnier’s winning design was simplified and developed with Johan van der Steur. Its large and small towers mark the building’s principal courtrooms. This view follows the observed front facade, with pale stone trim, arcaded windows and a steep slate roof.
