Le château de Rundāle est l’un des monuments les plus exceptionnels de l’art baroque et rococo en Lettonie. L’architecte italien Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli dessina et supervisa la construction du château de Rundāle. Après la mort du l’impératrice Anna Janovna, le duc fût arrêté et il vécut en exil en Russie. Les travaux de construction furent repris au retour du duc au début du règne de l’impératrice Catherine II. La majeure partie de l’intérieur du château fut achevée entre 1765 et 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.
