The iconic Palais de l'Isle in Annecy, France. One look at the bars on the windows and you know immediately that it was once a prison. Today, it is a museum of local history.
The swan swimming nearby is just too perfect.
Built in the 12th century, the building wasn't actually used as a prison until the end of the 18th century, and even then, that function ceased in 1864.
The site was certified as a historical monument in 1900.
