El Palacio de Rundāle es uno de los monumentos más representativos del estilo Barroco y Rococó que hay en Letonia. El arquitecto italiano, Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, fue quien diseñó y supervisó su construcción. Tras la muerte de la emperatriz Anna Janovna, el Duque fue arrestado y exiliado en Rusia. Los trabajos de construcción del Palacio fueron reanudados cuando éste regresó, a principios del reinado de la Emperatriz Catarina II. La mayor parte del interior del Palacio fue terminado entre los años 1765 y 1768.
The Rundāle Palace is one of the most outstanding monuments of Baroque and Rococo art in northern Europe.
The Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli designed and supervised the construction of Rundāle Palace. After the death of Empress Anna Janovna the Duke was arrested and lived in exile in Russia. Construction work in the palace was resumed after the Duke came back at the beginning of the reign of Empress Catherine II. The major part of the interior was completed between 1765- 1768.
Italian masters Francesco Martini and Carlo Zucchi created the paintings on the ceilings and walls, while the sculptor Johann Michael Graff from Berlin and his team made stucco decorations on the background of artificial marble.
As a result of agrarian reforms in 1920 the palace became the property of the Republic of Latvia. After World War I flats and an elementary school were established in the damaged palace. In 1933 the palace was given over to the State Museum of History and limited repairs were carried out. The palace did not suffer damage during World War II but after the war some of its rooms were adapted into a granary. In 1972 Rundāle Palace Museum was founded and restoration of the palace began.
Transfers, entrance to the palace and an English-language guided tour of the palace.
