Greetings from the south of Estonia! I've been a big fan of your content and have binge watched your videos for a while now. My heart literally dropped, I got chills and I almosted fainted when I saw this title, as my two little worlds collided. Still can't believe that one of my favourite creators has noticed our tiny, but historically important country! Thank you so much for this video and helping to put the Baltics on the map again! Love from Estonia!
i’m from estonia, i was surprised to see this video, i have been to the kadriorg palace at least twice, one as a school trip and once into the rose garden where the best graduates are invited to a party by the president
What an incredible video! Thank you so much for creating this giving us all this history and sharing all of the beauty of these areas. The narration is wonderful. It's so smooth and easy to listen to that lovely voice.
Oh Gosh! I visited Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia for two weeks in July 2019. I enjoyed this video so much, you may rarely find videos on these North European countries. My family has rooths in St-Petersburgh, Russia, and I always visit countries that are in general out of the mass touristic paths.
The rich cultural heritage of Eastern Europe is often overshadowed by the authoritarian gloom and concrete buildings of the Cold War Era. It was interesting to know the cultural treasures of the Baltic states and their dynamic history.
Eastern Europe as you think is outdated. The Baltic States are Northern European. And I'm saying this because the Baltics are culturally unique (finno-ugric/baltic culture) and are economically and politically connected with Norfhern Europe (and Central too). I'm saying this because many Western Europeans still think that everything east of Germany is Eastern Europe. Which is unfair and it oversimplifies the culture and the current political machinations of these states.
As an Estonian I would say its eastern europe. But we just have to rehabilitate the phrases "eastern europe" and "baltic states" to not mean commieblocks and gloom, but instead to mean quality products and fun tourist locations.
Baltic states aren’t Eastern Europe. Being pragmatic, you could call them Northeastern Europe due to their active transitions into becoming high hdi nations. But culturally and historically, (as clearly presented to you by this video lol) the Baltic states are Northern Europe; Lithuania less so, but I digress.
Rundale is a really great day out if you're visiting Latvia. It's accessible by coach from Riga, the jorney is approximately 1 hour to the town of Bauska and then there's a local bus from Bauska to Rundale. While you're in Bauska, you can also visit the much older Bauska Castle which is part restored and part ruins. Bauska Castle was built by the Teutonic Knights of the Livonian Order, but later turned over to the Duke Gotthard Kettler who extended and "modernised" it.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714Coach in English also means bus. It's a bus with dedicated luggage storage. Bus serves short distances, mainly within town or its nearby area or within city while coach serves long distances, mainly between towns or cities.
man this channel just always delivers some of the best videos on this channel. I always feel inspired after watching your content. Can't wait for what is next!
There is the only reason why Rundale is the largest palace in the Baltics - all the other palaces, which were larger, were destroyed. For example, a palace in Jieznas, a residence of Lithuanian magnates Pac, was destroyed in the late 19th c., the central building of Verkiai palace (100 meters long) was torn down in the 1840s, the palace in Vingis park was destroyed in the mid. 19th c., Kėdainiai palace of colossal size was blown up by the Germans in 1944.
Fate has been unkind to the Jelgava palace. Once upon a time, the main residence of the Dukes of Courland-Semigallia, for a while the main residence of the French Bourbon dynasty, where King Louis XVIII wrote the biography of Marie Antoinette, it once surpassed Rundāle in scale, opulence, and fame. And yet, after a few destructive events, it has become a shell of it's former self, and it's prominence has been taken over by it's younger, smaller sibling in Rundāle, which historically was considered but a provincial hunting lodge. As a side note, I've heard claims that Jelgava Palace might be cursed. The northern wing, in particular, has burned multiple times-in 1744, 1788, 1805, and 1816. The entire palace was burned down in 1919, and again in 1944, with more recent, small-scale fires occurring in 1992, and 2024.
I’m from Jelgava and never heard of the curse of our palace. Also no one talks about Louis XVIII living there. Our history is Latvia centric And many pages of history have been neglected - if they don’t relate to the glorious Latvian history, which is sadly built on the shoulders of forgotten characters.
Considering what happened to Jelgava during WW2, it's a bit of a miracle that the palace survived in any way whatsoever. And yeah, it's a shame none of the grandeur is left, but at least the palace is a living, breathing part of the city, being the home for LBTU
Eh, Estonian and Latvian nobility were entirely Germanic - they had their own dialects of German in the region (those dialects were alive beyond WW2). The "high culture" of those nations is inherited from the gentry, thus affiliated with Germany.
@@erenliebert4576 Well, it has painful connotations to the past and a rather backward image unrepresentative of the present prosperity since the end of the Cold War.

God bless the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. As a kid in school, they were called, The captive nations. Because they were taken over by the USSR, against their will. Stalin murdered many of them , and shipped even more of them off to Siberia. I am so glad to at last see them independent again.
Beside Lithuania all these palaces are german. Lots of all vaiety of "germans" were on Russia service. And since Baltic had strong german minority(hello, Landeswer) they had a comfier time to vacay there.
The title of video is quite misleading. There are no royal palaces in Baltic states, because there was no royals! And what you named "Roayl" were indeed royal palaces, but not of Baltic states itself. Kadriorg is just translated name of Catherine's valley. Neither Peter, nor his wife named this palace as Kadriorg. The palace in Vilnius is just a fantasy, a new building builded in 2018 that is based on some paintings that were taken in beginning of 19th century. Lots of authentic palaces in Lithuania are in bad shape or just ruins, but one Lithuanian politician decided came into history by building this building. It is so primitive.
Just to set the record straight, there absolutely were royal palaces in the Baltic States, so let’s not overlook that. Rebuilding the Palace of the Grand Dukes was a thoughtful and well-researched decision based on historical sources that go much further than just the 19th century. It’s about preserving and honouring the deep history of the region.
@@Oberschutzee No. You simply don't know what researches were. You not living here. For example the height of palace is wrong. In this building that was builded in 2018 lived no royals. Thus there are no Royal Palaces of Baltic states itselves.

Это история Российской империи, а не Прибалтики. Называйте всё своими именами. В Прибалтике не было королевских дворов и не было королей. Надо правильно преподносить информацию по истории.
Dar ir kaip buvo karaliaus dvarų. Lietuva su Lenkija nuo 1569 m. sudarė vieną valstybę ir buvo vienas valdovas - Lenkijos karalius ir Lietuvos didysis kunigiakštis. Rusijos imperija Lietuvą buvo okupavusi tik 120 metų: nuo 1795 iki 1918 m.
@@Laura-lt Не говорите чушь. Царь Петр1 купил Прибалтику у шведов, заплатив золотом. Так что никакой оккупации быть не могло. Почитайте историю ещё раз, не было королей у литовцев.
@@Laura-lt И ещё, Петр 1 правил в конце 17 века и начале 18 века, а умер он в 1725 году. Так что Российская империя уже включала Прибалтику в свои владения в этот промежуток времени.
@@NinaNina-vq6zb Petras I Lietuvos nepirko. Lietuvą Rusijos imperija okupavo kaip ir Lenkiją 1795 m., kai Petras I jau buvo miręs. Nežinot Lietuvos istorijos. Lietuva buvo Žečpospolitos dalis, o Žečpospolitą valdė karaliai.
@@xandervk2371 Russian was spoken well before the 19th century. In fact, the Russian language was already widely used by the 16th century, with grammar books published as early as the 18th century. It was only fully modernized in the 19th century, but it certainly existed and evolved long before that.
Everything built by a 7 feet tall guy who decided he wanted to drag his kingdom, kicking on and screaming into the modern world turning it into an empire Peter the Great at true Chad
Only the small palace in Tallinn was built in his era(and it was extensively renovated in the following centuries). Furthermore, did Peter I personally participate in the construction of the palace?
@@UlmanistLatvia yeah, there''s photograph of him carrying inflatable log.. oh wait, that's Lenin. Why Lenin died? Stalin secretly replaced his inflatable log with wooden one
Contemporary British historian Norman Davies - "At the end of the 19th century, the Lithuanians, who were ahead of the Belarusians with the national revival, received the support of the Russian imperial, and then the Soviet ideologists, thanks to which they managed to spread their own interpretation of history."
Ancient Lithuania was one of non-existed now Baltic tribes that dissolved into the Slavs. And the honorary title of "Lithuania" was given to Zhmud' in the 18th century by the Russian tsars in connection with imperial need to cleanse White Rus' (annexed during partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1770-90s) from the name "Lithuania" that was imposed to White Russia in a two previous centures (and was unnecessary for Russian policy). Therefore, this term was transferred to one of the Baltic tribes (Samogitians + Aukšaits), who, of course, were very happy with this gift and due to decree of Catherine the Great still naively believe that they are real ancient Lithuania that created Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Of course, ancient Lithuania ( Baltic tribe of 13-14th century with its early statehood), which created Grand Duchy of Lithuania, has no relation to modern Lithuania and its ethnicity.
Historical Zhmud/Žemaitija/Samogitia is ~35% of modern Lithuania's territory and ~18% of its population. The western part of modern day Belarus is ethnically Lithuanian. You continue this talk, and we'll come back to take what's ours. God knows you were doing better under LT than RU rule.

@@xandervk2371 Russian was spoken well before the 19th century. In fact, the Russian language was already widely used by the 16th century, with grammar books published as early as the 18th century. It was only fully modernized in the 19th century, but it certainly existed and evolved long before that.
Nice buildings. They just don't build grand homes like they used to.

Only the small palace in Tallinn was built in his era(and it was extensively renovated in the following centuries).
Furthermore, did Peter I personally participate in the construction of the palace?

What a nice inheritance left the Russian Empire in the Baltic states.
Contemporary British historian Norman Davies - "At the end of the 19th century, the Lithuanians, who were ahead of the Belarusians with the national revival, received the support of the Russian imperial, and then the Soviet ideologists, thanks to which they managed to spread their own interpretation of history."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litvinism
Ancient Lithuania was one of non-existed now Baltic tribes that dissolved into the Slavs. And the honorary title of "Lithuania" was given to Zhmud' in the 18th century by the Russian tsars in connection with imperial need to cleanse White Rus' (annexed during partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1770-90s) from the name "Lithuania" that was imposed to White Russia in a two previous centures (and was unnecessary for Russian policy). Therefore, this term was transferred to one of the Baltic tribes (Samogitians + Aukšaits), who, of course, were very happy with this gift and due to decree of Catherine the Great still naively believe that they are real ancient Lithuania that created Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Of course, ancient Lithuania ( Baltic tribe of 13-14th century with its early statehood), which created Grand Duchy of Lithuania, has no relation to modern Lithuania and its ethnicity.
Deranged litvinist detected
Historical Zhmud/Žemaitija/Samogitia is ~35% of modern Lithuania's territory and ~18% of its population. The western part of modern day Belarus is ethnically Lithuanian.
