The Royal Stables in The Hague are home to the many carriages of the Royal Household. The most famous is of course the Golden Carriage. The Royal Stables are not accessible to the public. The Royal Stables are part of Noordeinde Palace. The unique, eclectic style stables were designed by H.P. Vogel. Although the stables can only be admired from outside, during a day trip to The Hague a visit to Noordeinde Palace, the Palace Gardens and the Royal Stables should not be missed!.In 1815, King William I established the Royal Stables to provide transport for the Royal family and the royal household. They contain the horses that belong to the Royal Household and since 1898 the most unique Royal coach: the Golden Carriage. The Golden Carriage was a gift from the people of Amsterdam to Queen Wilhelmina, when she ascended to the throne at the age of 18. The Golden Carriage is made of wood and is covered by a layer of gold leaf. The images on the carriage have countless allegorical symbols. The Golden Carriage is only used once a year, on Prince's Day (opening of the parliamentary year).
