Aile du Nord, Royal palace wing in Versailles, France
The North Wing of the Palace of Versailles features high ceilings, large windows, and classical French architectural elements spanning multiple floors with detailed stone carvings.
Jules Hardouin-Mansart designed and constructed the North Wing between 1685 and 1689 as part of Louis XIV's expansion of the former hunting lodge.
The North Wing contains the Royal Chapel completed in 1710 and the Royal Opera installed in 1770, both exemplifying French architectural and artistic excellence.
Visitors access the North Wing through the main palace entrance, where multilingual guided tours explain the historical significance of each room and architectural feature.
The Crusades Rooms, created during Louis-Philippe's reign, replaced former courtiers' apartments and now display historical paintings of medieval French military campaigns.
