The Palace of Margaret of Burgundy in Le Quesnoy is a historic building that used to serve as the residence of Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria-Straubing and Countess of Hainaut, Holland, Zeeland and Oosterbant.
Margaret of Burgundy (1374-1441) was the daughter of Philip the Bold of Burgundy and Margaret of Male. She married William VI of Holland in 1385, and after his death in 1417 she continued to live in Le Quesnoy as a dowager. The palace was one of her favorite residences, and she lived there with her daughter Jacoba of Bavaria.
The palace is designed in a Renaissance style with strongly fortified walls and gateways strategically placed to protect the city. The building is built of brick and stone, which is typical of the military architecture of that period.
