Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV. The name means a symbol of power and influence and was intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet. The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Le château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, situé sur le territoire de la commune française de Maincy (Seine-et-Marne), à 50 km au sud est de Paris près de Melun est un château du XVIIe siècle (1658-1661), construit pour le surintendant des finances de Louis XIV, Nicolas Fouquet.
French Baroque castle (Est.1658) from the main entrance side. From this point you can't see the medieval moat surrounding the castle and a large square in front of it. The ongoing restoration planning shows a castle in a perfect state but still so many hard to see small details have to be done.
