As the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] went into decline in the 17th and 18th centuries, Belarus was absorbed into the burgeoning [[Russian Empire]]. Several distinguished works of architecture in Belarus date from this time. [[Gomel Palace]], originally built for the distinguished general and nobleman [[Pyotr Rumyantsev]] in the time of [[Catherine the Great]], is a lavish example. The building has been noted for its grandeur and its synthesis of influences of [[Romanticism]] and [[Palladian Architecture]]. After the Uniate Church was suppressed by the Russian Empire, churches in Belarus were built in the [[Russian Revival]] and [[Byzantine Revival architecture|Neo-Byzantine]] styles in the 19th century.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wilson |first1=Andrew |title=Belarus: The Last European Dictatorship |date=2011 |publisher=Yale University Press |location=New Haven and London |isbn=978–0–300–13435–3 |page=64 |url=https://www.amazon.com/Belarus-European-Dictatorship-Andrew-Wilson/dp/0300134355 |access-date=11 March 2021}}</ref>
