Despite its small size, the Netherlands undoubtedly became the centre of world trade during the 17th century. It was rich, powerful, innovative and influential.
The 18th century witnessed a slow and slight decline in comparison, especially with rising competition from France and England. This lecture will take a tour of well-known and less familiar houses, palaces and other properties across the country, including Paleis het Loo (Arnhem), Fraeylemaborg (Slochteren) and Museum van Loon (Amsterdam).
