Hofvijver, South Holland Province, The Netherlands
4.0 (256 reviews) Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #10 in The Hague Bodies of Water • Points of Interest & Landmarks
Dates back to 1248!
The Hofvijver is not really a pond but actually a lake fed by a water flow from the dunes of Kijkduin. It was created from a natural lake in 1248 by William the second when he built the first castle on the location. Now it is a mesmerizing backdrop to the centre of government, the Binnenhof, and the small tower which is the office of the prime minister.

Beautiful views
At the back of the beautiful Binnenhof buildings is a large lake with great views of the government 13th century buildings. Great area for taking photographs of the buildings. Also lots of benches to sit and enjoy the view.

What a stunning view
We arrived at the golden hour and this was one 9f the first things we saw in Hague. It was straight from the fairytale. Worth to visit and relax in the small park for couple of minutes.
