Versailles Castle is one of the most famous and historic buildings in France. Officially known as the Royal Palace, it has been the royal residence of French monarchs for a little over 100 years. The Palace of Versailles was originally ordered by Louis XIII for his hunting retreat. When the construction began in 1631 it was a modest castle, it was only when Louis XIV was made king that Versailles was transformed into the luxurious palace we know today.
