Tuileries Palace
The Tuileries Palace was a large royal and imperial palace on the right bank of the Seine in Paris, closing the west end of the Louvre courtyard. Built from 1564 and repeatedly enlarged, it served as the Paris residence of French monarchs and emperors until it was set on fire in 1871 and later demolished in 1883.

As it stood in 1867
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, regular stone façade stretching roughly 266 metres, built of pale ashlar with a rusticated ground floor of arched openings and two principal upper storeys articulated by pilasters and tall rectangular windows. Dark slate mansard roofs punctuated by clustered chimneys and dormers rise above, while a square central pavilion is capped by a large domed roof. The palace forms an elevated terrace above the formal gravel Carrousel courtyard and the Tuileries Garden with stone balustrades and classical statuary.
