@immortalbuilt: Louis XIV didn’t build Versailles because he wanted a grand home. He built it because he was afraid. Noble uprisings had nearly destroyed the French monarchy and he needed to keep his enemies close. So he invited every powerful noble in France to come and live inside his palace permanently, drowning them in luxury and ceremony while he ran the country alone. 35,000 workers spent 54 years building his trap. It worked perfectly until 1789 when the French Revolution tore it all apart. #Versailles #LouisXIV #France #History #Construction
Versailles isn’t the most visited palace on earth that would be the forbidden city with an estimated 17 million people a year visiting it

Q u i n n 🍀 :
Unfortunately there was a serious lack of ventilation and anything close to plumbing — so the palace was akin to one giant glittery toilet.

It’s wasn’t to distract the nobles, the point was to almost bankrupt the nobles because they were required to hold apartments, while also keeping their estate. Many nobles were deep in debt to the crown and they couldn’t amass the wealth required to rebel again.

you meant to say "freemasons and Jesuits started a revolution a
using the people to get rid of the monarchy so they could run the nation". since the monarchy fell, France became a Masonic nation. even their national motto is a Masonic motto
