The Royal Palace in Amsterdam is undoubtedly the most majestic historic building in the Netherlands. This palace was the "eighth wonder of the world" for the people of Amsterdam. At first, the building served as a town hall for a century and a half until it was converted into a palace in 1768. When France annexed the Netherlands on July 2, 1810, King Louis Bonaparte gave French governor Charles-François Lebrun permission to reside at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. Later, despite significant repairs to the palace, the king decided to turn the establishment into a royal museum. The initial function of the castle is confirmed by the Empire style of the building, its unique royal decorations, and its luxurious interior design. Currently, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam plays a representative role. It is regularly accessible and exhibits art objects, such as paintings, monumental chandeliers, and sculptures. ◄
