The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a Baroque castle built in the mid-17th century for Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances of the young King Louis XIV.
The property also includes a large garden and extensive parks. The luxurious castle and its lavish interior are considered to be the reasons for Fouquet's removal as finance minister and his imprisonment. Vaux-le-Vicomte is known as ‘The castle that made the Sun King envious’.
