Park Marlot in The Hague borders the former estate Reigersbergen. This, together with the Haagse Bos, and the Malieveld form a green area leading into the city centre. The estate is located on an old beach ridge along the Leidsestraatweg. Over the years, the old beach plain adjacent to the estate has been covered in peat.

In the 15th century, the farmhouse "Blaauwe Camer", was located on the site. Around 1600, Adriaan Van der Velde built a new gentleman’s farm. In 1640 the estate was bought by French nobleman David van Marlot. Prince Frederik decided to elevate it to high lordship, and gave it the name "Marlot." The farmhouse was transformed into a partly underground, L-shaped country estate in the years to come. David's son Lodewijk chose a different property from the vast estate of his father. Anna Florentina van den Boetselaer said that the Marlot house was too simple for her family.

The current house was remodelled and expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the main building, you can still see the seventeenth century cellars and some of the masonry.

After that, it remained empty for a while. The building was renovated in 1988 and converted to office space.

Near the house, there are several fruit walls including a serpent wall from the late 17th century that has been granted protected status.

The municipality planned to build a villa park.

A group of sculptures at the end of the Canal was unknown for a long time. It turned out that it was a replica of the 1882 relief that adorned an annex on the old city hall in The Hague.
