This antique library is called Handelingenkamer, which means "old library" in Dutch. It is known as the most beautiful library in the world, which combines the amazing design of eastern and western styles. In this new Renaissance style building with full appearance, the internal style of the library has been influenced by China, which can be seen from the treatment and carving on the railing. Unfortunately, this library is not open to the public at ordinary times, but only on weekends from the end of August to the end of September, which is European Heritage Day.
The old library is located in Binnenhof Ridderzaal, The Hague, Netherlands. Sitting in the revolving stairs and railings of cast iron, the design of the western atrium is a kind of enjoyment.
The Hague is the third largest city in the Netherlands. Although it is not the capital of the Netherlands, it is the seat of the Dutch central government. The Dutch parliament and government, and even the queen's residence are located here. The Hague not only brings together all government agencies, but also many foreign embassies and EU institutions, thus giving it a unique international feature.
Anyone who is interested in architecture will not be disappointed when he comes to The Hague. All kinds of classical, modern and modern buildings stand on the street, which is dizzying, but these buildings do not conflict with each other, but present a special scenery of harmonious beauty.
Especially the City Hall, the National Assembly Hall and the Peace Palace in The Hague. Although the interiors of these ancient buildings have been transformed into modern offices, their appearances still maintain their early characteristics. The most striking thing is the library located in the building of the Ministry of Justice, which contains records of every parliamentary hearing and discussion, as well as important historical documents and materials.
The building was built by architect Cornelis Hendrik Peters at the end of 19, because there was no electric light at that time. In order to reduce the use of candles and gas lamps in the library and ensure the safety of the collected documents, a huge glass dome was built on the ceiling of the building, so that the light can fully illuminate the whole four-story library through the atrium and the carved floor on each floor.
