Château de Marly

Château de Marly was a luxurious royal estate built in the late 17th and early 18th centuries for Louis XIV, located near Paris. Designed as a retreat from court life, it featured elegant architecture, extensive gardens, and elaborate fountains and sculptures. The estate served as a relaxing getaway for the king and his courtiers, emphasizing harmony with nature and artistic beauty. Over time, parts of the site were transformed or lost, but it remains a symbol of Louis XIV’s commitment to grandeur and the high culture of the French aristocracy. Today, the remaining structures and gardens reflect baroque design and royal indulgence.
