Description
In 1580 Stadtholder Willem Lodewijk van Nassau-Dillenburg purchased and took up residence at the Rolkemahuis in Leeuwarden, which had been built in 1564 for Philips II Boudewijn van Loo, the rentmeester-generaal to Philip II. In 1603 Willem Lodewijk incorporated the adjacent Dekamahuis, at which point the building is known to have contained thirty-seven lavishly decorated rooms.
In 1661 Stadtholder Willem Frederik extended the building by adding the 'Prinsentuin' (Prince's Garden).
