List of tallest buildings in The Hague

The Hague, the third-largest city in the Netherlands, has one of the largest skylines in the Low Countries, with 31 high-rises taller than 75 m (246 ft) as of 2026, 11 of which have a height greater than 100 m (328 ft). As the Netherlands' administrative centre and seat of government, some of its skyscrapers house the country's governmental institutions. The tallest building in the Hague is tied between Ministerie van Justitie and Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, which are both 146 m (479 ft) metres tall. Completed in 2012, the buildings are home to the Ministry of Justice and Security and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations respectively. The third tallest building, Hoftoren, is the location of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

For much of its history, the tallest structure in The Hague was the Great Church, or St. James's Church, which was built between the 14th to 16th centuries. The first high-rises appeared in the mid-20th century. As the number of tall buildings grew, the city centre area around Den Haag Centraal railway station formed the centre of an emerging skyline, with office buildings such as the 77 m (253 ft) Witte Anna and the 88 m (289 ft) Zurichtoren. The rate of high-rise construction has increased in the 21st century. Residential high-rise developments have become more prominent, notably with the four-tower Prinsenhof residential complex in 2005 and the 132 m (432 ft) Het Strijkijzer in 2008. Between 2010 and 2012, a host of towers were completed in the city centre, including the New Babylon complex, De Kroon, and the two tallest buildings that house the aforementioned ministries.

Most of the tallest buildings in The Hague are in the city centre districts of Centrum and Haagse Hout. The largest concentration of skyscrapers are located around Den Haag Centraal. Many high-rises reflect the influence of traditional and modern Dutch architecture, such as Castalia, whose pitched roofs were inspired by Dutch canal houses. The Hague is the main city of the Haaglanden urban area, which has a number of modern high-rises in its other cities of Delft, Rijswijk, and Zoetermeer. The Hague forms a larger metropolitan area with Rotterdam, with around 2.7 million inhabitants. Together, the Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area has over 30 skyscrapers taller than 100 m (328 ft), making it one of the metropolitan areas with the most skyscrapers in Europe.
