Not just a random prison

Loos-Lille prison is the better-known name, although was let’s say. It is completely demolished today.

This prison closed in 2011, originally there was a monastery on the site, but turned into a prison in the 19ᵗʰ century. 1500 Inmates was the max. capacity. It had a wing for both men and women.

We visited this interesting prison twice in 2014 and we found it astonishing to explore.
