Biography
Louise Henriëtte was the eldest daughter of
Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and
Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. She grew up at the court of her father, the stadtholder.
She had to abandon her love for
Henri Charles de la Trémoille, prince of Talmant and son of
Henry de La Trémoille, as her mother tried to arrange a royal wedding. But her attempt to conclude an engagment with
Charles II of England came to nothing. Finally she was forced on
December 7,
1646 to marry
Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg (1620-1688), at The Hague.
The first years of their marriage, the couple lived in
Kleve, but in
1648 they moved to Brandenburg, Frederick William's seat.
The princess had a new castle in Dutch style built in Bötzow and called it
Oranienburg. In 1653 the entire town of Bötzow was renamed Oranienburg.
A Protestant religious community known as
the Luise-Henrietten-Stift in nearby
Lehnin Abbey was named after her.
She was also involved in the design and development of the
Lustgarten in Berlin.
They had six children:
- William Henry (1648-1649),
- Charles (1655-1674),
- Frederick (1657-1713), the first King of Prussia.
- Amalie (1656-1664),
- Henry (1664-1664),
- Louis (1666-1687).
She was buried in the
Berliner Dom.
