Palace 'De Dam' was sold to the state. Today, this palace is used by the royal family to welcome guests, for state visits or New Year's receptions. Since 1979, the palace has also been open for public visits. Palace ‘Ten Bosch’ is located in The Hague. This palace was the main residence of princess Beatrix between 1981 – 2014. At this very moment, the palace is being renovated, so that His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and his family can move in when the renovation is done. The palace is not solely used as the main residence for the royal family, but also as a guesthouse and is being used for representative purposes, such as the presentation of the new cabinet. Royal Goedewaagen makes miniatures of various palaces in the Netherlands which are hand-painted in the traditional Delft blue or polychrome manner.
