SoEstDiJk PaLaCE
In the Netherlands there are so many palaces. Nearby our house 5 minutes drive is the SOESTDIJK PALACE. It was the home for over six decades of the late Queen Juliana and her husband, the late Prince Bernhard until their deaths in 2004. Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard are the parents of our present queen, Queen Beatrix. Soestdijk Palace then remained empty and unused for over a year before its opening to the public. The palace was opened to the public in 2007 and since then over 300,000 people visited the palace and the surrounding park. It will be open to public until 2010, the government has to come with a plan about the future destination of the palace. Soestdijk Palace is one of the four official palaces of the Dutch royal family. The palace is named after the village of Soestdijk, in Soest Municipality. Land area is 165 hectares and 17,000 sq meter is the palace.
You should visit it. I pass this palace when I go to Hilversum. I see tourist buses and group of visitors. SOESTDIJK PALACE is amazing!
