Das Niederländische Palais gehörte zur spätfriederizianischen Bebauung der Straße Unter den Linden im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte.

The Dutch Palace was part of the late Frederick building on Unter den Linden in the Mitte district of Berlin. It was on the corner of the narrow Oranische Gasse and had the house number 36. From 1803 to 1882 the building was owned by the Dutch ruling house Oranien-Nassau, from which the name was derived.

The early history of construction and ownership are unclear. Presumably there were artillery houses on the property since the middle of the 17th century (later numbers 35 and 36). In 1713 Friedrich Wilhelm I gave the property to General Christian von Linger as a gift. This sold it in 1750 to the war councilor Burckhard Ludwig Schmidt. The existing buildings were demolished and the property was divided. The three-storey building with nine window axes, presumably completed between 1753 and 1758, was designed by Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs and built by Andreas Krüger, like its neighboring house No. 35, the Palais Hesse. Changing owners were the royal bailiff Johann Wilhelm Steinert in 1755, the merchant and banker Martin Schultze in 1758 and the royal court advisor Ernst Friedrich Bodenhaupt in 1771. After the minister Friedrich Christoph von Görne acquired the house in 1775, he had Michael Philipp Boumann equip it with a vestibule with a new staircase, modernized facade decorations and a portico. In 1777 one of the most elegant townhouses in Berlin was built in the transition style from rococo to plait style.
