What Peace Palace looked like in its prime.
A large neo‑Renaissance civic palace with an asymmetrical front dominated by a single prominent clock tower and a smaller tower at the rear; formal landscaped grounds include a reflecting watercourse and a fountain. Exterior facades are rendered in dressed stone with ornate carved entrances and articulated window bays. The interior contains high ceremonial rooms and galleries richly fitted with donated marbles, wooden panelling and large silk tapestries, all arranged in newly completed condition at opening in 1913.
