Parking near Rechtbank Den Haag
The District Court of The Hague is one of eleven district courts in the Netherlands and hears cases at first instance for the northern part of South Holland. The district includes The Hague, Leiden and Gouda, where court sessions are also held. With a history dating back to 1838, the court has played a central role in the Dutch judicial system for almost two centuries.
The Palace of Justice already consists of two interconnected buildings. The original section was built between 1963 and 1973 to a design by architect F. Sevenhuysen. Due to the growing scale and complexity of the judicial system, the building eventually ceased to meet contemporary requirements. Consequently, a decision was taken in the 1990s to expand and modernise the complex. The new building was opened in 1996. Together, they now form a cohesive complex in which functionality, light and accessibility are central.
The building features a clear division between public and non-public areas. The public section houses the courtrooms and waiting areas; the restricted section accommodates the offices of, amongst others, the District Court itself, The Hague Court of Appeal, the Public Prosecution Service and several national bodies.
Although the Palace of Justice is a formal and sometimes tense environment, the court is, in essence, a public institution. Hearings are, in principle, open to the public, thereby ensuring transparency and public scrutiny, a core value of the Dutch rule of law. The court handles a wide range of cases, from civil and criminal law to administrative law. Another distinctive feature is that many civil cases against the State are heard by The Hague District Court, as the Dutch government is based in this district.
