Mother Russia
In the time of the Czars! Everyone knows about the Kremlin. The Peterhof Palace is on the outskirts of St. Petersberg, Peter the Great's choice for a new capital for a western looking Russia. During World War 2, the building was occupied by the invading German armies and was heavily damaged. Restoration began almost immediately, and has yet to be completed. Trump would love the place. There's gold leaf everywhere. The preference of aspiring autocrats.
