The small town of Diepenheim is home to various 'castles' or large country houses. Including Warmo.

Officially, Warmelo is not a Dutch royal palace. It was once bought by Prince Bernhard, the husband of Queen/Princess Juliana, for his mother.

There is an anecdote that Queen/Princess Beatrix and her sisters once talked about the 'Warm Loo' (Warm Loo) and the 'Koude Loo' (Cold Loo). Their grandmothers lived at Warmelo and Het Loo respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnenhof


....The Binnenhof (English: Inner Court) is a complex of buildings in the city centre of The Hague, Netherlands, next to the Hofvijver lake. It houses the meeting place of both houses of the States General of the Netherlands, as well as the Ministry of General Affairs and the office of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Built primarily in the 13th century, the Gothic castle originally functioned as residence of the counts of Holland and became the political centre of the Dutch Republic in 1584. It is counted among the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites. The Binnenhof is among the oldest Parliament buildings in the world still in use....

Not entirely correct. It was bought by King Willem II and his youngest son Hendrik has also lived there.

The Lange Voorhout (Voorhout with emphasis on the second syllable) is one of the most famous and oldest streets in the Dutch city of The Hague.

Well-known buildings on the Lange Voorhout include the Kloosterkerk (no. 2), the Pagehuis (no. 6), the former home of the Supreme Court (no. 34, before 1988: Huis Huguetan), Hotel Des Indes ( no. 54-56) and the Lange Voorhout Palace (no. 74, since 2002 Art Museum "Escher in the Palace"). Among the often large buildings, the narrowest residential house in The Hague (width 183 cm) can also be found at no. 32A. Theater Diligentia (no. 5), Pulchri Studio (no. 15), Bodega De Posthoorn (no. 39a) are located across the street.

Various embassies are also located on Lange Voorhout. Even before the attacks on September 11, 2001, those of the United States (No. 102) and the United Kingdom (No. 10) were heavily guarded. The building of the former American embassy dates from 1959 and was designed by architect Marcel Breuer. At no. 42, the former home of Theodore baron de Smeth van Deurne, is the embassy of Switzerland, at no. 50 that of Spain and at no. 58 that of Austria.


The Lange Voorhout Palace is a former city palace on the Lange Voorhout in the Dutch city of The Hague. The Lange Voorhout Palace was built in 1764 by Pieter de Swart for Anthony Patras, deputy of Friesland and mayor of Sloten. Patras died shortly after completion of the house ('Huize Patras'), after which it came into the hands of the merchant family Hope. In 1811, the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Marie Louise of Austria stayed in the house for two days during an official visit to The Hague. The then owner, the banker Archibald Hope, was a member of the municipal council of The Hague and had made it available to the city council for this purpose. it is a royal palace. The purchase price did not have to be paid until February 1847, in five installments. Afterwards, the building was only named Paleis Lange Voorhout. Willem's youngest son Prince Hendrik lived there and after his death it came into the property of his sister Princess Sophie, married to Grand Duke Karel Alexander of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Queen Regent Emma bought it from the Grand Duchess at the end of her second regency and stayed in the palace during the winter. Queen Wilhelmina also used the palace as a winter palace after her abdication. At that time, the court staff lived partly on the third (roof) floor of the palace, which had been converted into staff quarters by order of Queen Emma. The rest found shelter in the top floor of the adjacent Russenhuis, which was connected to the palace via a breakthrough on the top floor. it served as a working palace. Queen Beatrix also used the location as a working palace, until Noordeinde Palace was made suitable as a working palace in 1984.

Princess Juliana sold the palace to the municipality of The Hague in 1990. This sale was subject to the important condition that it must be used for cultural activities. The palace turned out to be in a dilapidated state; there was no heating and the roof had to be renewed. In addition, facilities had to be installed in connection with fire safety, such as a fire escape and escape routes. Because the budget was not too large, some things could not be realized immediately. For example, an air humidity installation was initially omitted. The intensive renovation took place in the winter of 1991/1992. Queen Emma's salon was transferred in its entirety to Het Loo Palace, only the original paneling was retained. The then director of the Haags Gemeentemuseum, Rudi Fuchs, was given a lot of freedom for the design. He commissioned the American artist Donald Judd to design patterns for the new parquet floors. He also had 18th- and 19th-century rooms, where wall coverings had once been, painted with hard colours, including navy blue, hard red, lemon yellow and grass green. Fuchs had designer Walter Nikkels furnish a number of rooms, including the museum shop, public areas and the space ticket sales take place. Fuchs had three large statues by André Volten placed in the backyard. Due to a lack of money, the dilapidated sculpted angel figures in the pediment on the facade were not replaced by new sculpted statues, but by plastic casts. Since 1992, the palace has been used as a museum. Initially there were changing exhibitions, but since 2002 the Escher museum has been housed in Het Paleis, dedicated to the graphic art of M.C. Escher.

Maurits Cornelis (Mauk) Escher (June 17, 1898 – March 27, 1972) was a Dutch artist, known for his woodcuts, wood engravings and lithographs, in which he often played with mathematical principles. He signed his work with MCE. His engravings often depict impossible constructions, studies of infinity and interlocking geometric patterns (divisions of planes) that gradually change into completely different shapes. Some very well-known pictures that he drew are designed around impossible objects such as the Penrose staircase. It was not until the 1950s that he gained wider recognition as an artist, especially in the US. Crystallographers and mathematicians discovered symmetries and themes from their fields in his work. Escher's graphic work has been used in scientific textbooks since 1960. In the 1960s, much to his surprise, his work was embraced by hippies and pop stars because of the fantastic parallel worlds.

In addition to the monumental buildings, there are three monuments on the Lange Voorhout: the monument to Queen Emma, that to Duke Karel Bernhard von Saksen-Weimar (1792 - 1862) and the water pump.

Queen Emma speaks for itself, the 2nd wife of King Willem III and the mother of Queen WIlhelmina. I am too young to have known/experienced her, but apparently she was loved by the majority of the Dutch population.

Karel Bernhard (30 May 1792 - 31 July 1862), Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, was a German general in the Dutch service and, among other things, commander of the Dutch East Indies army. Karel Bernhard was the second son of Grand Duke Charles August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt, daughter of Grand Duke Louis IX of Hesse-Darmstadt. His older brother, Karel Frederik, succeeded his father. He married Grand Duchess Maria Paulowna of Russia, who was a sister of Queen Anna Paulowna of the Netherlands. His older sister was Caroline, who married Hereditary Grand Duke Frederick Lodewijk of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.Karel Bernhard married Ida, daughter of Duke George I of Saxe-Meiningen. Princess Ida was a younger sister of Queen Adelaide of the United Kingdom, wife of King William IV. Eight children were born of this marriage

Queen Wilhelmina stayed at Anneville, an estate in Ulvenhout when she first returned to The Netherlands near the end of the Second World War.   
She arrived at Anneville on May 2, 1945. Her stay lasted for a little over six weeks.

Loose translated as:

On the Anneville estate, Wilhemina heard that the Germans were surrendering

April 3, 2022 at 9:28 AM • Modified April 4, 2022 at 10:48 AM

A former temporary royal palace lies in the woods below Ulvenhout. And not many people outside the immediate area know that. In May 1945, the white villa on the Anneville Estate provided shelter for Queen Wilhelmina for a few weeks, where her majesty also received the news that the Germans had surrendered. In November it will be sixty years since Queen Wilhelmina died.

After the liberation of the Netherlands in 1944 in Brabant came to a standstill on the major rivers, Prince Bernhard established his military headquarters in Breda. But that didn't mean he had a representative place to stay overnight. Before that, his eye fell on a vacant, spacious hotel on the Anneville estate.

Now only a sign with black and white photos along the driveway reveals the royal history of the white country house, which, together with the adjacent coach house, is owned by the brothers and barons Jan and Wim de Constant Rebecque.

"We are proud of this heritage that we are allowed to own and manage."
"This was actually a royal residence for no less than six weeks. At the beginning of May 1945, Wilhelmina landed at Gilze-Rijen air base in a Dakota and was driven in a military column to the Anneville estate. Prince Bernhard had already been staying here for a few months," says Wim . "We are proud of this heritage that we are allowed to own and manage."
The fact that the majesty also stayed at Anneville was actually a secret, but it certainly did not go unnoticed by those in the area.

"When it became known that the Germans had surrendered, there was a lot of noise at the gates of the estate shortly afterwards. The entire neighborhood came to Anneville to pay tribute to its majesty," Jan smiles.

"There was only one guard post and he was shocked, because he didn't know anything about the capitulation yet. But people at the gate shouted 'in the name of Orange, open that gate'. Ultimately, they also informed the guard about the Germans. surrender and everyone was allowed to walk through," Wim adds.

At the back of the villa - on the terrace where Her Majesty drank her cup of tea - there is a gray plaque that briefly commemorates Wilhelmina's temporary stay.

After Wilhelmina's departure, no reigning monarch visited the Anneville estate. Wim: "Only Prince Bernhard has been here a few times for a reunion of his staff. But everyone is welcome here, including the king and queen."
