Blievie Palace complex, photographed in 2008.

Blievie Palace is the former royal residence of the Luniere Dynasty, the ruling house of the Kingdom of Prydon. It is now currently a museum jointly owned and administrated by the House of Lichtenburg-Hohenzollern-Luniere and the Government of Prydon. The palace is located in the western side of the Belaya River, opposite of downtown Aetrinun.

The palace was initially a fortified position, residence of the Dukes of Aetrinun since the 11th century. Following the Kingdom Proclamation made by Ferdinand I, he began construction of a church inside the walled section. Later monarchs of Prydon added barracks and armories to the complex, making it one of the most well-defended fortress in Prydon. The fortress went into disrepair during the Karnetvor Aristocracy era, and became a warehouse for the Aetrinun harbour. When the Luniere Dynasty took control over the Kingdom in the 1600s, they took residence within the complex, building royal residences and renovating the walls, effectively transforming it into a palace. The biggest construction was made by King Ferdinand VII who built the Yellow Manor, a baroque-style building furnished with art collection and decorated with precious metal. The palace complex eventually merged with the nearby Equestrian Academy of Ferdinand VIII.

Today, the complex is open for public visitation and is a major tourist attraction in Aetrinun. The government occasionally use several parts of the complex for diplomatic or state venues. A contingent of 100 Royal Guards still ceremoniously guarding the palace, holding ceremonial spectacles everyday during changing-of-the-guards processions every 10 am and 4 pm.
