Huis ten Bosch Palace (Dutch language: House in the forest) is a royal palace in Haagse Bos , The Hague. It was built in 1654 by Pieter Post as a summer home for Princess Amalia, the wife of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange of the House of Orange-Nassau. After her husband's death in 1647, Amalia dedicated the Palace to her husband, having artist Jacob van Campen create huge paintings in the Oranjezaal .
