The most expensive apartment in the world: Château Louis XIV https://citymagazine.si/en/the-most-expensive-apartment-in-the-world-mansion-chateau-louis-xiv/ Mon, 04 Jan 2016 04:45:13 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=207708

Château Louis XIV recently became the most expensive apartment in the world! It was sold to an anonymous buyer from the Middle East for an incredible 301 million US dollars (275 million euros), thus beating the previous record of a penthouse in London (One Hyde Park), which was sold in 2011 for 221 million dollars (192 million euros). Although reminiscent of a 17th century château (the time of the reign of the Sun King aka Louis XIV), the opulent château located on the outskirts of Paris was actually only built in 2011.

Both Paris and the whole of France are a real paradise for all hopeless romantics who are constantly looking for inspiration in life that would warm their souls. In addition to the stunning landscape, which is about 50 kilometers from Paris, you can also warm your soul on the extraordinary architecture of the romantic castle. Le Chateau de Vigny will undoubtedly take the breath away of every visitor. A romantic castle near Paris can, at least for a moment, lift the ground under our feet and take us to a fairy tale for a moment on its charming property.

The competition is of an open type, which means that it accepts new proposals or photographs. And na(grad)a for the winner? Unknown, but the title of 'the most beautiful in this country' would be a big enough compliment.

New York artist and true genius in the creation of sand sculptures Calvin Seibert returns this time with incredibly complex geometric shapes of his sculptures. He started with the idea of building something completely different each time and letting his imagination run free during creation. The result of the work is fantastic shapes that look like they are from another planet.

The center of every medieval town is its castle - it is no different in Škofja Loka. We can see the castle of Loki from afar when we are just approaching Škofja Loki. However, today it is far from its medieval image.
