Kneuterdijk Palace ('Paleis Kneuterdijk') is one of the unknown gems in the historic city centre of The Hague. The palace between Court Pond and Lange Voorhout was built in 1716 in the Louis XIV style by architect Daniel Marot for Count Johan Hendrik of Wassenaer-Obdam. In 1816 King William I purchased Kneuterdijk Palace for his son, the Prince of Orange, later King William II and his Russian wife Anna Paulowna. It is now home to the Council of State.

The new house was designed in the Baroque style by Daniel Marot (1661-1752). The client was Johan Hendrik, Count of Wassenaer Obdam (1683–1745). After his death, the property fell into the hands of his brother Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer Obdam (1692–1766). His great-granddaughter Marie Cornélie van Wassenaer Obdam sold the palace to King Willem I in 1816.
