"What a wonderful day outdoors!"

The weather was great, so Her Imperial Majesty took a walk outside with her ladies-in-waiting.

I've seen a picture of this minifigure with the real palace in the background by captain_j03, and I thought it would be cool to show that we have beautiful palaces here too. :) Maybe I should take into account that the minifigure is Rococo Aristocrat and show you a real Rococo palace, but the only one I heard of is not that big and doesn't have a lot of open space around, it surrounded by the modern road. So instead I decided to show you a Neo-Gothic palace, cause it's gorgeous and I like it. xD

This is Tsaritsyno Grand Palace (also known as Tsaritsyno Big Palace), founded in 1775 as the summer residence of Catherine the Great, but it wasn't finished until her death in 1796. The next Emperor didn't like the building, so it stood abandoned for 200+ years, until it was reconstructed in 2005-2007. Now it's a museum in the huge park reserve in the south of Moscow. Yes, the city grew so big, that the places that used to be summer residences far away from the city, are all inside of the Moscow Automobile Ring Road now. I've read that it is the largest Neo-Gothic building of the 18th century in Europe and the only palace complex designed in this style, but I don't see any lists, so I can't tell is it true. :)

This is for you, Bridgerton fans! :D I don't watch it, but I see people talk about the series a lot, and they seem happy about it, so I appreciate that.
