Jelgava Palace is the largest Baroque palace in the Baltics, the building of which started in 1738 by the famous architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. The Palace was destroyed during the Second World War, but it is one of the few buildings that survived in the city of Jelgava - the former capital of the Duchy of Courland - Semigallia (1562-1795) destroyed in 1944.

The Park of Jelgava Palace was founded in 1817 on the site of the former ramparts. The park has romantic canals, bridges, several palace buildings and the Governor's Island, which makes it one of the most beautiful parks in Jelgava. Several centuries-old trees also grow in the Palace park - chestnuts, oak and grey aspen.
