Rundāle Palace in Courland |
|
When the duchy of Courland was handed over to the Russian emperor in 1795, Rundāle (Rundale) Palace first became the property of Count Valerian Zubov, then passed into the hands of the Shuvalov family, and was effectively nationalised in 1920. Count Pavel Andreyevich Shuvalov served as governor-general of the Warsaw Military District (Russian-occupied Poland) between 1894-1896. |
