Louis XIV moved his court and government offices to Versailles in an attempt to combat the nobles' efforts to undermine his increasing power. The palace, one of the most lavish ever built, was the work of Louis Le Vau, J. H. Mansart, and Charles Le Brun. The park and gardens contain fountains, reservoirs, and sculptures, and the park contains two smaller palaces, as well as temples, grottoes, and decorative structures.
