Château Louis XIV

The Château Louis XIV is a château constructed between 2008 and 2011 by the property developer Emad Khashoggi's property development company COGEMAD using traditional craftsmanship techniques and materials. Located between Versailles and Marly-le-Roi on a 23-hectare walled site, the property is surrounded by moats and has a constructed surface area of 7,000 m2, 5,000 m2 of which are living space. The property pays various tributes to France's Sun King and stands on a land which once formed part of the Versailles estate.

Khashoggi had previously restored the Palais Rose in Le Vésinet and the Château du Verduron in Marly-le-Roi. The Chateau Louis XIV was built on the site of the former Chateau du Camp in Louveciennes, with the aim of building a modern house, with automated hi-tech controls incorporated within a 17th-century aspect, layout, and materials.

The chateau was sold to an unidentified individual from the Middle East for $301 million, setting a world record price for a residential property.
