Peace Palace

The Peace Palace in The Hague is an iconic symbol of international law and justice, serving as the seat of several major judicial institutions, including the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and The Hague Academy of International Law. Inaugurated in 1913, the grand edifice was designed by French architect Louis M. Cordonnier and funded by American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, reflecting a global commitment to peace and diplomacy.

Architecturally, the Peace Palace is a striking example of Neo-Renaissance style. The building features an ornate façade, towering spires, and beautifully landscaped gardens, which together create an atmosphere of serenity and grandeur befitting its purpose. Inside, the Peace Palace is adorned with a rich array of artworks, tapestries, and stained glass windows donated by various nations, symbolizing international cooperation and cultural diversity.
