Signature

Constantijn Theodoor, Count van Lynden van Sandenburg, (24 February 1826 – 18 November 1885) was a Dutch politician. Van Lynden van Sandenburg served as Chairman of the Council of Ministers (prime minister) of the Netherlands between 1879 and 1883.[1]

History

Lynden van Sandenburg was born in Utrecht in 1826. He trained as a lawyer before entering politics. An orthodox conservative Protestant, Lynden van Sandenburg sided with the anti-revolutionaries. In 1866 he served in the Dutch House of Representatives. He went on to take the position of Minister of Justice between 1874 and 1877 in the Heemskerk/Van Lynden van Sandenburg cabinet.

Lynden van Sandenburg took office as leading minister on 20 August 1879 with his own cabinet. This cabinet was known for its liberal conservatism.

As a member of the ancient Dutch noble Lynden family, Lynden van Sandenburg was born a "baron", but elevated to "count" in 1882, with the right of succession to this title for all his legitimate, male-line descendants.[2] He died in Langbroek in 1885.
