Princessehof (Princess' Court), Leeuwarden

The princessehof in Leeuwarden was built as a city mansion in 1693 for the Aylva family. The house was sold to Marie-Louise of Hessen-Kassel in 1713. Marie-Louise is the mother of Stadholder Willem IV and widow of Johan-Willem-Friso, stadholder of Frisia, Groningen and Drenthe.

Marie-Louise collected a lot of ceramics and at the moment the museum has a big collection of those. Here the website of the museum: Keramiekmuseum Princessehof

The Princessehof (three mansions combined together to form a small city palais, see picture) only served as residence to Marie Luise of Nassau, Princess of Orange born Princess of Hessen-Kassel.

Since 1917 it is in use as a museum. Because of this connotation, the building remains known as "the Princess' Court".

The residence of the Oranges in Frisia/Friesland was the Stadtholderly Court in the same city as the Prinsessehof ( picture). These modest buildings make clear that the importance was somewhere else (The Hague, Amsterdam).

In the 1970's Queen Juliana sold the Stadtholderly Court. It had no use anymore. These days the former palais is in use as a hotel.
