It was built because Louis XIV thought that by building a court, he could keep his threats nearby so that they would not rise against him. After the disgrace of Nicolas Fouquet in 1661, Louis became jealous of this finance minister having a better palace than his, which was called the Vaux-le-Vicomte, and confiscated Fouquet's estate. He then employed the builders of the Vaux-le-Vicomte (Le Vau, Le Notre and Le Brun) to build the Palace of Versailles for him.

It was built because King Philippe Auguste in 1190 wanted it to protect Paris but later it turned into a palace. Then the throne was moved to a different place and that place was later turned to a museum as like right now. After it became a museum, a lot of changes were made like the glass pyramid.

What is the difference between sorbonne nouvelle and sorbonne?

Your question is weird because you are talking about a building and a university. Sorbonne is the name of a building in the Latin Quarter of Paris, it was also the nickname of the old University of Paris. After may 68, the University of Paris was divided in 13 institutions. There are 3 of them that kept "Sorbonne" in their name, Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne, Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle and Paris 4 Paris-Sorbonne. None of them is more "sorbonne" than the other, although many students like to claim that their university of paris is more "sorbonne" them all. Funny, huh?
