Palaiçoque Dèmaçaille

The Palaiçoque Dèmaçaille was the residence of House of Eccignâille from 1577 to 5 Hâeatùrre 1678, the date of Êlessandré IX’s execution.

History
The palace was built under the supervision of Aúodin Màrceaux from 1573 to 1577 for Êlessandré VI and his wife, Sedènne III, based on a design by his father, Mundòt Màrceaux. The palace's grounds include a 30 acre garden, which Êlessandré VI designed himself. The garden was intended as an anniversary gift to Sedènne, as she once wrote to her husband, “Few gardens and arable fields exist within our city… And they’re filled with peat.” She did not find the gardens to her taste, however, and within the next year, the groundmasters re-landscaped the gardens, and the botanists planted tropical vegetation from the East.

Before 1580, the park area was bare. At Sedènne’s orders, the park was planted with non-native tree species. The park was then opened free of charge to Chaumentaine nobility. Over the years, it became a popular attraction for the aristocrats. The park remained open to the aristocratic public until 1582, when Côrsiggéan diplomat Zàcchérlino Giustìvanti became inebriated at an outdoor masquerade ball held by the queen and desecrated the fruit orchards.

After Êlessandré IX’s execution, the Palaiçoque Dèmaçaille was repurposed as the building for the Council of State, and the park was reopened to nobility. Today, the gardens host theatrical performances and orchestral concerts during Sòfuillegot, Hâeatùrre, and Êlessânde.
