Château de Marly, Royal residence in Marly-le-Roi, France
The Château de Marly features classical architectural elements with symmetrical pavilions distributed across extensive gardens near the Seine River.
King Louis XIV commissioned architects Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte to build this palace in 1680 as an alternative to Versailles.
The palace complex contained twelve smaller pavilions for guests, reflecting the French court's social hierarchy and entertainment practices.
The original structure no longer exists, but visitors can explore the remaining foundations and gardens within the National Domain of Marly-le-Roi.
The palace used an advanced hydraulic system to power numerous fountains, which later influenced the water features at other European royal residences.
