Louis XIV had the hunting lodge at Versailles built in 1623. Initially a small hunting lodge, it was expanded and transformed into a grand palace starting in 1661. This transformation marked the beginning of Versailles as a symbol of royal power and grandeur, eventually becoming the principal royal residence in France.
