Haagsche Bluf

Haagsche Bluf is a small shopping center in The Hague. The mall has four entrances, the most important of which is the entrance directly opposite the ’t Goude Hooft restaurant and the entrance where the burned-out city cinema used to be. Behind it used to be the Pasadena shopping arcade. Now you enter a kind of courtyard and lead to an inner courtyard with shops, a terrace and an old French fountain. There is a large roof terrace on the first floor. In 2000, Geste Vastgoed decided to make the old passage something special. There are now buildings whose facade is a copy of a known facade elsewhere. There is a copy of the Page House, which has been in Lange Voorhout since 1618, and a copy of a facade from the Denneweg from 1898. The square also has a Venetian tower and several Delft facades. Haagsche Bluf won the small New Town Award in 2001.
