As it stood in 1682
The shape it held in its prime.
A vast, symmetrical classical stone palace with long, low façades punctuated by rows of tall, closely spaced windows and mansard roofs; central pavilions rise above the cornice and a long, central axis extends into the formal gardens. In front lies a broad gravel forecourt and geometric parterres with rectangular pools and clipped hedges; the complex of wings encloses courtyards and links to outlying pavilions, stables and avenues stretching toward a distant canal.
