In a quirky Dutch-ism, Amsterdam may be the official capital of the Netherlands, but it’s The Hague (Den Haag) where the government sits (along with several international courts, for which the city’s best known). Cosmopolitan and cultured, The Hague is Holland’s third-largest town, with just under 500,000 people. Conveniently, the beach resort of Scheveningen is part of The Hague, and en route lies the family-friendly Madurodam, a fascinating 1/25 miniature display of a fictitious Dutch city.

Already wrote a rating for the Our Lady of Lourdes Cave, Scheveningen center. Did you know this particular location was the exact place where in ancient times the fisher women came together to pray for their men. That they could return unharmed from their fish catches in the North Sea. When the municipality wanted to remove this place, precisely these people, men and women from Scheveningen, protested successfully to keep the place. The RK church became a place for events and meetings, thought the Lourdes Cave it was retained for what it is intended for. I do come here for a very long time. And know that you can experience everything just around the corner, happy visit!

The rich ornamentation of this Roman Catholic Church is in great contrast to the much older protestant "Kloosterkerk" next to it.This 19th century church was the most expensive church build in that century in the Netherlands.Architect Pierre Cuypers used a rich set of colors and the church-spire is the highest in the Hague.Free entry daily 10-15hours.
