Château de Versailles
The Château de Versailles—a French castle and historic monument in Versailles, within the Yvelines—served as the principal residence of French kings Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. The king, court, and government called it home permanently from May 6, 1682, until October 6, 1789, save for the Regency years between 1715 and 1723. Conceived by Louis XIV to glorify the French monarchy, the château represents the crowning achievement of his reign and remains among the masterpieces of classical architecture.
