One of the men responsible for its construction had also designed the Church of the Invalides, whose plan was a Greek cross with four corner chapels based on Michaelangelo's plan for St. Peter's.
One of the men responsible for its construction had also designed the Church of the Invalides, whose plan was a Greek cross with four corner chapels based on Michaelangelo's plan for St. Peter's. The man who began its design only got as far as the Garden Front before dying, and the wings of this building include the Salons of War and Peace at either end. The War Salon includes a bust by Antoine Coysevox of the Salon's decorator, Charles LeBrun, and both of them, together with Jules Hardouin-Mansart, who took over after Le Vau, are responsible for various aspects of this building's most well-known room. For ten points, identify this building best known for its Galerie des Glaces, or Hall of Mirrors, built as a royal palace under Louis XIV on the outskirts of Paris.
