Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Was amazed to pass this building on my rounds last week. Today, on the way to St. Paul, I passed the white stucco and copper cupolas again and decided to stop -- the sign read "St. Katherine Ukrainian Orthodox Church." Tonight I learned a little about the church from their website. It's striking to see Byzantine and baroque architecture spring up out of Middle America, the Minnesota wetlands outside of St. Paul.
From their website, by the architect, Oleg Gregoret:
St. Katherine Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Arden Hills, MN is designed in Ukrainian Baroque Architectural style. This distinctly national Ukrainian style "was developed during the "Hetman" period in the middle of the 17th century. In Europe, the Baroque style in architecture was in full bloom and spread to Ukraine to create an entirely different dynamic and unique style by combining baroque elements with Byzantine architecture. The Cathedral of St. Sophia in Kyiv and the church buildings of Kyiv Pecherska (Cave) Lavra Monasteries provided the inspiration for the design of St. Katherine Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Cultural Center.
