We like the art nouveau detail on this building in The Hague. Especially the fantastic metalwork on the balcony and the green tiles over the archway (bottom of photo).
This building sits on the Buitenhof, or "outside court," opposite the Binnenhof ("inside court," where Parliament sits). From what I can tell (based on the internet and my limited translation skills), it sits on the site of the former offices of the two cities of Alkmaar and Enkhuisen from the days when the cities of the republic had representatives that influenced the government. At the turn of the century it was a hotel, now it is a movie theater.
Note: Alkmaar coat of arms at the top left, Enkhuizen top right (sorry for cutting you off, Enkhuizen!)
