Spinoza lived on Paviljoensgracht in The Hague from 1670-1677. This is where he completed the Ethica. The attic room where he lived and died is not open to visitors.
The Association Het Spinozahuis offers a study room on the ground floor where the post-1800 collection of books are held. The collection includes many editions of the philosopher’s works as well as some 1,000 books on Spinoza. This is also the site of the future biographical museum.
The study room is open to the public on Monday;
April – October 14.00-17.00.
November – March 14.00-16.00
