Does anyone know how much it cost to build the palace of Versailles? I am doing cost research on the comparasion of building castles of the past with skyscrapers of the present.

my history teacher says no one really knows b/c Louis XIV had all the records destroyed. It must have been a lot though.

While the Palace was grand and luxurious, it was also expensive to maintain. It has been estimated that maintaining the Palace, including the care and feeding of its staff and the Royal Family, consumed as much as 25% of the entire government income of France

I am a very pretty princess from France. I am a desendant of a very rich royal family, and I am pretty sure that the cost of Versailles was close to $1. .5 billion.

God bless you all, take care fair gentleman and ladies.
