Designed by US architect Richard Meier and completed in the mid-1990s, The Hague City Hall (Stadhuis) stands as a striking example of contemporary architecture. Its white and glass exterior, which has earned it the nickname the ‘Ice Palace,’ contrasts sharply with the historic cityscape of The Hague. Visitors can admire the building’s sleek, modern design and explore its interior, which offers a glimpse into the workings of local government. The City Hall’s distinctive appearance and central location make it a notable landmark for both locals and tourists.
