Marked by an imposingly tall, square tower, this prison was once a fortress. Located in the heart of the city at the Place de Grève. It enjoyed a particularly sinister reputation. This was yet another contruction by the indefatigable Louis VI the Fat, who wanted to defend the Frand Pont bridge (since replaced by the Pont au Change). Set in the middle of what was then a particularly squalid district, it served as the headquarters of the Prévôt de Paris, or provost marshal, who essentially ruled over the city, along with his lieutenants and his 48 advisers. Justice was dealt out swiftly within its walls. Whereas the Bastille was demolished in just a few frenzied weeks, the Grand Châtelet, was put to fresh use by the Reign of Terror, housing prisoners that would fall victim during the September Massacres. Finally, the prison itself fell to Napoleon, who wanted it razed.*
