Virtual visit of Rundāle Palace Museum

The Rundāle Palace ensemble is one of the most outstanding monuments of Baroque and Rococo architecture in Latvia. It was built according to the architectural design of the architect Francesco Rastrelli fom 1736 to 1740, and from 1764 to 1768 as a summer residence for Ernst Johann Biron, the Duke of Courland.
The interiors now feature art objects and household items characteristic of the era to the Dukes. The eastern wing of the Palace houses staterooms for festivities while the Duke’s and private apartments are in the central building and the Duchess' apartments in the western wing.
On the south side of the Palace is located the French Baroque garden which covers 10 hectares and fully retains its original layout designed by Francesco Rastrelli in 1735/1736. It displays all the characteristic elements of French gardens – an ornamental parterre, fountain, the Green Theatre, bosquets, pergolas, pavilions and a labyrinth.
