About the Royal Palace of Amsterdam
The Royal Palace of Amsterdam (Koninklijk Paleis van Amsterdam, also called Paleis op de Dam) lies in the center of Amsterdam, on the western side of Dam Square. It faces the War Memorial across the square and stands beside the Nieuwe Kerk. Three palaces in the Netherlands are at the monarch's disposal by Act of Parliament, and this is one of them.
The building dates from the mid-seventeenth century, when Amsterdam had it built as a replacement city hall, and it did not become a royal palace until 1808. Burgemeester Nicolaes Tulp commissioned it as a large-scale project even before the old city hall burned down in 1652. Jacob van Campen was the main architect and took control of the construction in 1648. The building rests on 13,659 wooden piles. In 1808 King Louis I of Holland, Louis Bonaparte, moved to Amsterdam and turned the city hall into his royal palace.
After the Kingdom of the Netherlands was created in 1815, the building passed to the Dutch Royal House as a palace. The Kingdom of the Netherlands took it into ownership in 1936. The monarch uses it for entertaining and official functions, such as state visits and New Year receptions. Having been designed as a city hall, it has no grand entrance, which most royal palaces do have. A 6-meter-tall statue of Atlas, who carries the Globe on his shoulders, stands astride the rear of the building.
