  • The Noordeinde palace, the "working palace" for Queen Beatrix since 1984 when she took office
  • The Mauritshuis, museum exhibiting the Royal Picture Gallery
  • The Peace Palace (donated by Andrew Carnegie)
  • The International Court for Criminal Justice
  • Hollandspoor Station (a model for Tokyo Central station)
