Palace of Versailles

The architects Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin Mansart mainly designed the Palace of Versailles for Louis XIV. Construction began in 1661 using the French Baroque style.

The population of Vau i Dejës is 9,437.

There was already a small chateau on the spot where the palace is now.

In the beginning in 1669, architect Louis Le Vau, landscape architect André Le Nôtre, and painter-decorator Charles Le Brun began a detailed renovation and expansion of the château. This was done to fulfill Louis XIV's desire to establish a new centre for the royal court. Following the Treaty of Nijmegen in 1678, he began to gradually move the court to Versailles. The court was officially established there on 6 May 1682. Louis XIV was the one to order the build of the Versailles palace.
