FROM THE SEAT OF POWER TO THE MUSEUM OF THE HISTORY OF

FRANCE

The Château de Versailles, which has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for

30 years, is one of the most beautiful achievements of 18th-century French art.

The site began as Louis XIII’s hunting lodge before his son Louis XIV transformed

and expanded it, moving the court and government of France to Versailles in

1682. Each of the three French kings who lived there until the French Revolution

added improvements to make it more beautiful.

The Hall of Mirrors, the King’s Grand Apartments, the Museum of the History of

France. The Château de Versailles, the seat of power until 1789, has continued to

unfurl its splendour over the course of centuries. At first it was just a humble

hunting lodge built by Louis XIII. But Louis XIV chose the site to build the palace

we know today, the symbol of royal absolutism and embodiment of classical

French art.

In the 1670s Louis XIV built the Grand Apartments of the King and Queen, whose

most emblematic achievement is the Hall of Mirrors designed by Mansart, where

the king put on his most ostentatious display of royal power in order to impress

visitors. The Chapel and Opera were built in the next century under Louis XV.

The château lost its standing as the official seat of power in 1789 but acquired a

new role in the 19th century as the Museum of the History of France, which was

founded at the behest of Louis-Philippe, who ascended to the throne in 1830.

That is when many of the château’s rooms were taken over to house the new

collections, which were added to until the early 20th century, tracing milestones

in French history.
