The Palace of Versailles was originally a mere hunting lodge belonging to King Louis XIII. It was during the reign of Louis XIV, when the king installed his court there in 1682, that major works began, and the Palace that we know today took shape.
Thus, in a few years, the Sun King made Versailles one of the most beautiful French architectural achievements of the 17th century.
