Rundāle Palace, Baroque palace in Pilsrundāle, Latvia.

The eastern wing of Rundāle Palace contains the Gilt Hall, White Hall, and Great Gallery, which display elaborate stucco work and gilded decorations.

Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli designed the palace in 1736 for Ernst Johann von Biron, who served as the Duke of Courland during the Russian Empire period.

The palace museum maintains collections of historical artifacts and hosts classical music performances, including an Early Music Festival in its restored halls.

The palace offers guided tours in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore both the restored interior rooms and the formal French-style gardens.

The garden features a collection of roses that documents European rose cultivation from the 18th century to contemporary times through varied specimens.
