Demolished or destroyed.
The Royal Palace of Olite is a Gothic castle-palace in the town of Olite (Erriberri), Navarre, Spain. It was one of the seats of the Court of the Kingdom of Navarre from the reign of Charles III "the Noble" until Castile conquered the kingdom in 1512. In 1813 General Espoz y Mina set a fire to keep French troops from occupying it, damaging much of the palace except the church. Restoration from 1937 lasted about thirty years, though some interior decoration and the outside gardens were lost.
