It is well known that, throughout history, royalty have built castles, fortresses and entire cities.However, less consideration has been given to individual monarchs who pursued an interest in architecture and in some cases acted as architects.Recent research on Gustav III of Sweden (1746–1792) has shown that he was in fact the architect for a number of important building projects.George III of England (1760–1820) also had a great interest in architecture, and his drawings and sketches have been preserved.Louis XIV of France (1638– 1715) was greatly involved in shaping the palace and garden at Versailles.

Is there a difference between nobility and elegance?
Yes, there is a difference between nobility and elegance. Nobility typically refers to a person's social status or rank, often associated with titles and hereditary privilege. On the other hand, elegance is more about grace, refinement, and sophistication in one's appearance, behavior, or style. While nobility can be a factor in someone being perceived as elegant, elegance can be achieved by anyone regardless of their social status.

Do you prefer castle ruins, intact castles, opulent palaces, or more sober-looking palaces?
I personally prefer intact castles because they allow me to fully immerse myself in the history and architecture of the structure. Intact castles provide a more complete understanding of the way people lived and defended themselves in the past. Additionally, I enjoy exploring the various rooms and features that are still preserved within an intact castle.
