Description

The "Hof van Nassau", built in 1510 by Hendrik III of Nassau‑Breda, served as the residence of the Princes of Orange in #Diest (Vlaams-Brabant), Belgium . Located near the Warande Park, once the princely deer park, the building features red-brick and sandstone cross-wing construction with tall windows and a gothic stepped gable. Its upper window bears the Nassau coat of arms. An octagonal turret with sandstone banding crowns the structure. The main carriage entrance dates from 1695, while the arched pedestrian door was added in the 18th century.
