House Honselaarsdijk is a former hunting lodge in Honselersdijk, Westland, South Holland. Only the outbuilding the Nederhof is still there, with the former guest quarters, horse stables and coach house.
Huis Honselaarsdijk was built in the Middle Ages as a castle for the lords of Hunsel and Naaldwijk, and achieved its greatest fame when it was owned by Prince Frederik Hendrik of Orange in the first half of the 17th century. He demolished the castle and put a hunting lodge in its place. Renowned Dutch and French architects, garden designers, painters and sculptors, such as Arent van 's-Gravesande, Bartholomeus van Bassen and Jacob van Campen, were brought in to do this. The palace was spacious and had large gardens, statues, fountains and a maliebaan.
With Honselaarsdijk as his country residence, hunting lodge and art gallery, Frederick Henry underlined his increased status as sovereign prince of the principality of Orange and stadholder of most provinces in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces. He held grand feasts there and received important guests.
Carolus Allard, also called Karolis, Carel Allard or Allardt (Amsterdam, Holland, Netherlands, baptized January 19, 1648 - buried February 1, 1709), was a Dutch publisher and engraver.
