Palace of Peace at The Hague Described and Carnegie’s View
An archetypal 1890s style description details the Palace of Peace near The Hague at Zergvitet, modeled after Brussels and featuring a central audience hall, marble and pink girths, and a square tower with bronze statues. It notes Dutch ambivalence, Carnegie’s gift, and the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague with nine rulings and a broad international commission. It ends with Carnegie’s reflection on the world’s enigma of achieving lasting international peace through frequent, trust-based diplomacy.
