Fishing house at trout pond

At the beginning of the 17th century, the landscape of the park at Paleis Het Loo was laid out. Now when you walk in the Palace Park at Paleis Het Loo you see beautiful ponds and encounter several cottages scattered throughout the park.

The park was intended as a place where the royal family and their guests could spend their free time. In the summer, much of the court life took place among the trees, fields and ponds. Therefore, the park had to have plenty of opportunities for activities such as picnicking, shooting, boating and fishing. The cottages were designed to support those activities.

Next to the trout pond you will find this mysterious little house. In this cottage, the palace staff collected tipsy game. Then the dead animals went through the meat grinder. Together with some flour, they were then fed to the trout. The trout from the pond were served in the palace. Thus, the royal family had fresh trout available when guests were present.
