Tuileries Palace

1564–1871 · 16th century · Also known as Palais des Tuileries

The Tuileries Palace was a royal and imperial residence in Paris, begun in 1564 for Catherine de' Medici beside the Louvre. Louis XVI was brought there from Versailles in 1789, and its storming on 10 August 1792 brought down the monarchy. Napoleon and later rulers lived there until 1870; Communards set it on fire in May 1871, and the ruins were demolished in 1883, leaving the Tuileries Garden.
