The Nicolaus Copernicus Monument in Warsaw is one of the Polish capital's notable landmarks. It stands before the Staszic Palace, the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences on Krakowskie Przedmieście. Designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen in 1822, it was completed in 1830. Thorvaldsen's original plaster model from 1822 and a smaller study from 1821 are both held by the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen.
The monument features a bronze statue of Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (Polish: Mikołaj Kopernik) holding a compass and armillary sphere.
The Staszic Palace is a building purchased in 1818 by Stanisław Staszic, a leading figure of the Polish Enlightenment, who commissioned its renovation. The architect in charge was Antonio Corazzi, who redesigned the palace in neoclassical style. After the renovation (1820–23), Staszic donated the building to the Society of Friends of Science, the first Polish learned society dedicated to Science, founded in 1800.
On 11 May 1830 the diplomat and polymath, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, unveiled Bertel Thorvaldsen's monument to Nicolaus Copernicus in front of the palace.

Monastery was founded at the end of XVI Century. Most of the current buildings were built in the 18th and 19th Centuries in a neoclassical style. Main Cathedral (at the photo) was built in 1821-1825.
Stockholm's public library. The library has been described as the physical manifestation of a transitionary period in both the rationale of its designer and the shifting values of European architecture; the ultimate result a deceptively complex synthesis of styles presented in a visually straightforward package: the fading influence of Neoclassicism juxtaposed against the emergence of Rationalism. Brilliant!

Poeke Castle, a moated castle in neoclassical style, is situated in a vast park intersected by numerous avenues. The castle's core dates to 1750 and was modified in 1872.
Belgium has a total of more than 3,000 castles and therefore holds the world record for the largest number of castles per square meter.
The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004, the capitol underwent a major restoration and renovation project.
The white-plastered, neoclassical country house with basement was built between 1851 and 1854. The house has a monumental orangery, with an upper middle part and two curved side wings, all in brick with pilasters. Neoclassical means as much as "with sober, strict, yet calm forms". The commissioner for the construction was Maria van Mattemburgh. In 1878 another conservatory was added. On the street side of the manor is a hilly flower bed in the style of Pückler-Muskau. There is also a coach house and a plastered octagonal tea dome with wooden crowning. The romantic park landscaping with an English and a French garden dates from approximately 1878. It has an area of 17 ha. Since the garden is located on the Brabantse Wal, where there is a strong difference in height, it was used by the landscape architects. The tea dome is located on an artificial hill 11 m above sea level. Three visual axes run from there, one to the Markiezaatsmeer and two in the direction of De Blaffert. Below the tea house is an ice cellar, which nowadays houses bats, such as the long-eared bat, water bat, fringed tail and the long-eared bat. In the lawn is a meandering pond that changes into the brook De Blaffert, and over which are two bridges, a Chinese bridge and a bridge that is built from boulders. The garden contains a number of statues, which were placed between 1990 and 1995. The long gable farm Hildernisse is located on the estate. This farm was originally 17th century, but in its current appearance it dates from the mid-18th century. In the west facade is a niche with a statue of Mary. The farm has a barn and a bakehouse. The garden is considered one of the five most important style gardens in the Netherlands.
Kozłówka Palace is a large rococo and neoclassical palace complex of the Zamoyski family in Kozłówka, Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland.
The palace was built between 1735 and 1742 and is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated May 16, 2007, and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland. It currently houses the Zamoyski Family Museum in Kozłówka. The Kozłówka Landscape Park lies south of the palace complex.
The original palace was built in the first half of 18th century for Michał Bieliński, voivode of Chełmno; its architect was Jozef II Fontana. It represents the characteristic type of baroque suburban residence built entre cour et jardin (between the entrance court and the garden). Its architecture is original - a merger of European art with old Polish building traditions. In 1799, the Palace was acquired by the aristocratic Zamoyski family. It belonged to the family up until 1944. The palace experienced a period of great prosperity during the times of Count Konstanty Zamoyski who remodelled the palace in order to turn it into one of the most monumental and representative magnate residences in Poland.
Between 1879 and 1907, the palace was rebuilt in Neo-Baroque style, the chapel was modified (modelled on the chapel at Versailles Palace); a theatre, a second outbuilding and an entrance gate were also added. The palace also features a unique sewers system from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which made it possible for the owners of the property to have access to some of the earliest modern bathrooms in Europe.
In 1903, the Kozłówka entail was established by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, which meant that the property belonging to the Zamoyski family could not be sold or divided and automatically passed by law to the eldest heir.
In 1928, the chairman of the Polish Gymnastics Society Sokół, Count Adam Michał Zamoyski, organized a training camp in the palace gardens for the Polish national gymnastics team in preparation for the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.
From November 1944, when the last owners Count Aleksander Zamoyski and his wife Countess Jadwiga Zamoyska were forced to flee their palace, it became the property of the Communist regime, whose grip on Poland ended in 1989. It currently hosts the Zamoyski family museum.
The interiors of the palace were preserved despite the ravages of the German Nazi and Soviet Regimes from 1939 to 1989. The original opulent design and most of museum quality art from the Zamoyski family collections remain.
The surroundings of the palace also include a historic chapel, French Baroque garden, stables and a carriage house. The palace grounds also feature the Gallery of Socrealism, the largest collection of communist art in Poland featuring over 1,600 sculptures, paintings, drawings and posters.

A view of the buildings on the north side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square as seen from the steps of the Logan County Courthouse. This view shows the entire 600 Block of Broadway St. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Of the eight buildings shown above, the former Lincoln Savings and Building Association building (c. 1914, Neoclassical) at the corner of Broadway and N. Kickapoo St. (left), and the two-story commercial building at the opposite end of the block (c. 1895, Italianate) at the corner of Broadway and N. McLean St. (right). are contributing properties in the historic district.
The buildings sandwiched between the two ends are a mix of newer mid-century commercial buildings, and older buildings that have been modernized to the extent that their historic architectural antecedents are basically unrecognizable. These buildings are non-contributing properties within the historic district.

This Neoclassical building is one of 61 "Carnegie Libraries" in Michigan. These libraries were funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a philanthropic endeavor by Andrew Carnegie. Over 2500 libraries were built between 1883 and 1929.
The Traverse City Library was built in 1904 and expanded in the 1960s. The addition, an awful, non-descript box of a building (in my opinion), was completely devoid of character, and inconsistent with the simple, elegant structure of the original. I cropped that addition out of this picture.
Today, Traverse City has grown, and a larger library has been built, with the Carnegie library eventually becoming today's "History Museum."

The Fairmount Water Works was constructed in 1812 to pump water out of the Schuylkill River to serve the bustling City of Philadelphia. As Philadelphia rose into an industrial powerhouse, it was the first large American city to regard the delivery of safe water as a municipal responsibility. Powered by the river, pumps raised water into reservoirs high atop a nearby hill, Faire Mount. Almost from the day the waterwheels began turning, the graceful neoclassical buildings and beautiful grounds made the place an international tourist attraction renowned for melding nature and technology.
Today the Water Works is an Interpretive Center that offers visitors information about the impact of water on their daily lives, and how they in turn impact their water supplies. The Interpretive Center features a variety of hands on, highly interactive exhibits including a live view of the the Fairmount Dam fish ladder and a flyover of the Schuylkill River watershed.
The St. Nicholas Church (in German: Nikolaikirche) has long been one of the most famous in Leipzig, and rose to national fame in 1989 with the Monday Demonstrations when it became the centre of peaceful revolt against communist rule
The church was built in about 1165 around the same time Leipzig was founded. It is named after St. Nicholas, the patron saint of merchants and wholesalers, and is situated in the very heart of the city at the intersection of two then important trade roads, the Via Regia and Via Imperii. It is built partially in the Romanesque style but was extended and enlarged in the early 16th century with a more Gothic style. In 1794 the interior was remodeled by German architect Johann Carl Friedrich Dauthe in the neoclassical style. The church has been a Protestant seat since 1539 after the Protestant Reformation, but the Catholic Church is allowed to use it too.
