Paleis Het Loo 17, Apeldoorn, 20221106

This sunday I visited Paleis Het Loo, former residence of the Royal family. The building itself is from the 17th century. Queen Wilhelmina lived here until 1962 and since 1975 it is owned and maintained by the Dutch state and it is a museum now. Since 2018 it was closed for a huge renovation and it partly reopened this April. There is still construction going on underground in front of the palace. Grant opening will be somewhere in 2023.

 

Former machine of Princess Wilhelmina. 1953 dark green Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet Adenauer. Drei litros inline-6. It was the S-klasse of that time. The royals sure liked convertibles back in the day. In the back you can see a glimpse of a 1925 Minerva. Minerva was a Belgian super highend luxury car manufacturer. Lots of Minerva's can be seen in Autoworld Bruxelles.
