New Grodno Castle, Royal palace in Hrodna, Belarus

The New Hrodna Castle stands on the banks of the Neman River, displaying a combination of Rococo and Neoclassical architectural elements across its grand structure.

Augustus III of Poland commissioned the castle's construction from 1751 to 1770, with architects Carl Frederick Pöppelmann and Giuseppe de Sacco leading the project.

The castle contains exhibition halls showcasing regional artifacts, historical documents, and archaeological findings that detail the development of Belarusian culture through centuries.
