Versailles was originally built in 1623 by French King Louis XIII le Juste, roi de France et Navarre as a hunting lodge made of brick and stone. His successor, Louis XIV "le Grand" roi de France et Navarre, expanded the structure into a royal palace, in multiple phases. It was remodeled in 1738 by Louis XV, Roi de France et de Navarre. Following the French Revolution in 1789, the palace fell into disrepair. It was restored in the 19th century by Napoléon I, emperor of the French, Louis VIII le Lion, roi de France and Louis Philippe I d'Orléans, roi des Français
