Description |
Although the Prison de l'Abbaye Saint-Germain dates as far back as 1522, it is best known for the massacre that took place at its gates in September of 1792; a total of 314 people were killed here at this time during the Reign of Terror. After the Revolution, the building was used solely as a military prison (as shown here), and its main "cell" was located 30 feet below ground and did not allow ample room for a prisoner to stand upright. The prison was eventually destroyed in 1857 when the boulevard Saint-Germain was extended. |
