I saw huts and I saw palaces -
Someone's palace is the same house
I didn't notice they were happier than we were,
Although it's not up to me to judge.
Time machine
Somehow it happens that it is impossible to see how our oligarchs / presidents live, our common people, or how it is often said "ordinary citizen".
I think that the problem is primarily due to the fact that people will immediately want to ask the owners of this home: “Where did you get it? ». And a clear answer will not follow…
But to see how European monarchs live, as a rule, is not a big problem.
So the King of the Netherlands calmly, for a fee, lets everyone see how he lives. No one has questions like “Where did you get it? "And" Why did not include in the tax return? ».
Apparently the legitimacy of ownership and fiscal legality has long been tested by the people : ) However, it should be noted that this palace became royal only after it was made in 1808 by Napoleon, who came to power. Before that it was the town hall. However, after Napoleon, somehow no one wanted to return this building to the ownership of the city, and it remained on the balance of the royal family : ) Although this family itself lives more in the palace in The Hague.
But about the palace. The building is very monumental! During the construction of the building, 13.659 piles 12 meters long were driven into the muddy ground! That's what it still costs, as if nothing had happened.
The outside is just beautiful, the inside is luxurious.
Only the hall is worth it! 36x18 meters and 27.5 meters high! Well, everyone has marble, etc. … Beauty, in short.
But if you do not have time in Amsterdam, you can miss this attraction.
But this is a matter of taste and passion : )
