Buitenhof+Hofvijver, The Hague (Den Haag), The Netherlands (Part3/14) City Tour
Buitenhof, The Hague
The Buitenhof (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbœytənɦɔf], Outer Court) is a square in The Hague, Netherlands, adjacent to the Binnenhof (Inner Court) and the Hofvijver pond. It is listed in the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
History
The square originated in the 13th century, during the construction of the Binnenhof. It was filled with houses and stables and, during the reign of Count Albert I, it even features a zoo. The zoo exhibited mostly falcons and other birds of prey that were used for hunting. Later, hounds were exhibited as well. The Buitenhof was moated for safety in the 15th century. People that did not belong to the court, lived outside of it, around the Plaats and the Korte Voorhout, and along the Hofvijver. The only entrance to the square was the Gevangenpoort, Prison Gate. A second entrance was introduced in 1814 with the construction of the Gravenstraat. In 1923, the houses between the gate and the Hofvijver were demolished, as was advised by architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage. This created more space for the increasing traffic, which had had to pass the gate before
Hofvijver
The Hofvijver (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɔfɛivər]; English: Court Pond) is a pond in the centre of The Hague. It is adjoined in the east by the Korte Vijverberg (road), in the south by the Binnenhof and the Mauritshuis, in the west by the Buitenhof and in the north by the Lange Vijverberg (road). In the middle there is a small island with plants and trees which has no name, it is usually referred to as the island in the Vijverberg.
History
The term pond is actually a misnomer, as the Hofvijver has its origin in a natural dunelake fed by the Haagse Beek (Hague Creek) (Originally: Dunecreek) and the, nowadays muted, Bosbeek (Forestcreek) from the Haagse Bos (Hague Forest). The Haagse Beek still feeds the Hofvijver and so the pond is directly connected to the dunes in Kijkduin.
In this dunelake there was an island (not the current island in the Hofvijver) on which William II built his palace in 1248. Other sources say he built his palace alongside the pond and created a moat around it. The city of The Hague celebrated its 700 years of existence in 1948, suggesting that the city itself places its origin on the building of the palace by Willem II in 1248.
Count Albert decided on the rectangular shape in the 14th century. In the 17th century the Hofvijver got quays and in the 19th century it was elongated. Up to around 1800 the Binnenhof was still encircled by a moat and was only accessible by bridges.
The island in the Vijverberg we know nowadays was only created around 300 years ago. How or why it was created is unknown. In the centre of the island stands a flagpole and the island itself counts a number of trees and small plants (no bushes). It is not open to the public. Alongside the island there is a fountain in the water. During demonstrations the island has been 'occupied' a couple of times and there have been banners displayed on the island.
Present
Nowadays the Hofvijver is adjoined in the west by the Buitenhof, but until the 19th century that side was adjoined by houses. The pond is encircled by fairly high quays, but is very shallow on some points. In 2004 an underwater gate was built to make sure that nobody could swim to the prime minister's office without being detected. His office, the Torentje (Little Tower), adjoins the Hofvijver as it is located on the Binnenhof.
On the bank across from the Binnenhof (Lange Vijverberg) there is a statue of Jantje (Little John) pointing to the Binnenhof. 'Jantje' probably refers to John I, Count of Holland who died at the age of 15 years, and features in a well known Dutch children's song about The Hague.
Located next to the Vijverberg are several museums, like the Mauritshuis, the Gevangenpoort (Prison Gate), the Hague Historical Museum and the Gallery Prince William V.

STORYLINE:
Former Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic was transferred to a U.N. jail cell Wednesday to await trial on charges of
waging a genocidal war against non-Serbs during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
A plane believed to be carrying Karadzic landed in the Netherlands on Wednesday morning.
The plane was sighted at Rotterdam airport, where helicopters and cars were waiting to whisk Karadzic to a UN detention centre near the court in The Hague where he will stand trial.
Dutch police and United Nations tribunal officials had been waiting at the airport for several hours, preparing for the arrival of Karadzic who was in the process of being extradited from Serbia.
Police helicopters and vans with tinted windows were waiting at Rotterdam airport, the closest of several air fields where the jet carrying Karadzic could land.
The Serbian government said in a statement issued early on Wednesday that its justice ministry had issued a decree that allowed Karadzic's handover.
Officials at the jail near The Hague cleared the courtyard to enable a helicopter to land, although it was unclear whether Karadzic will be brought by helicopter or car.
At the jail, Karadzic will go through an identification process and a medical check.
The jail of the UN Yugoslav tribunal is in a separate wing of a Dutch maximum security prison in Scheveningen, a coastal suburb of The Hague, a short commute by prison car to the court where Karadzic will stand trial.
Karadzic faces 11 counts including genocide, extermination and persecution.
Prosecutors allege he masterminded atrocities including the 1995 massacre of 8-thousand Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica and the deadly siege of Sarajevo.
Karadzic is expected to be summoned before a judge within a day or two and will be asked to enter a plea to each of the 11 charges.
He may postpone his plea for up to 30 days, however.
It is likely to be several months before the trial begins, and could take several years before it concludes.

The Hague - Historical Museum
The Historical Museum of The Hague is located in the historical heart of The Hague. The museum is housed in the former archery house of St. Sebastian's guild and dates from 1636. It is built on the spot of a gatehouse that was used by the civic guard. Parts of its cross-vaulted basement have been incorporated in the new archery house and can still be seen today. The civic guard of St. Sebastian used their quarters for parties and meetings. Immediately behind the building, alongside the Hofvijver, their shooting ranges were situated.
