Peace Palace
About

The Peace Palace is one of The Hague’s most iconic landmarks and a global symbol of international justice. Completed in 1913, the palace was built to house institutions dedicated to resolving conflicts through dialogue rather than war. Its grand neo‑Renaissance architecture, lush gardens, and richly decorated interiors reflect the ideals of peace and cooperation that inspired its creation. Today, it is home to the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and a renowned law library, making it a central hub for international law. Although access to the interior is limited, the visitor centre and surrounding grounds offer insight into the building’s history and mission. The Peace Palace stands as a powerful reminder of the world’s ongoing pursuit of diplomacy, making it an essential and inspiring site within The Hague.
