In today's video: the ancient Rundāle Palace (the historical version of the name is Ruhenthal Palace, literally “Valley of Tranquility”). Former country residence of the Dukes of Courland. Built in the Baroque style according to the design of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli for Ernst Johann Biron. The construction of the palace was carried out in several stages, each of which was accompanied by various significant events. Biron's long-term exile also played an important role. However, the palace was completed. We will talk about Rastrelli, Biron, the history of the area and, of course, about the palace itself. =========================================== The author of the video warns that everything he said in this video is his personal opinion.
