SearchResearch Challenge (1/22/25): What building is this?

 This should be a simple question... 

P/C by Dan Russell

... but it turns out that identifying this building is either really simple... or really hard... it all depends on which tools you use!  

This leads to our SRS Challenge today: 

1.  What is the name of this building and where is it?  What style is it?  (For extra credit--why was it made in this rather elaborate style?  

It shouldn't take you long to find the CORRECT answer, but many of the tools out there in use today are giving really terrible responses.  Can you filter out the wheat from the chaff?  

Let us know what you find, and how you know that it's the right answer!

Keep searching!
