What Het Loo Palace looked like in its prime.
A symmetrical Dutch‑Baroque brick palace: a three‑storey central corps de logis with a triangular stone pediment and a raised entrance reached by shallow steps, flanked by lower wings with steep slate roofs and dormer windows. Tall, regularly spaced white‑framed sash windows puncture the red brick; stone quoins and entrance surround provide pale accents. The forecourt is gravel with a small box‑bordered green at centre; the rear opens on a rigid axial parterre garden with gravel walks, clipped hedges, statues and fountains.
