Ceremonies for abdication and succession to the throne are held here. The queens of the Netherlands - Wilhelmina (1898), Juliana (1948) and Beatrix (1980), the present queen, have all been crowned in the here. Naval officer and conqueror of the Spanish Armada in the 17th Century, Michiel de Ruyter, is buried here. The exhibitions about religion, culture and lovers from other lands are the focalpoint, domestically and internationally.
