Geschichte

The Jail Hotel

The prison was built in 1862. This ultimate location was chosen, because in that time there was still a moat in the street in front of the building.


Before this prison was built, inmates were locked up in eight different towers in town. During the age of enlightenment people first started to think about prison an the reason of locking people up. On the 1st of October 1862 the prison official opened and didn`t close until 1998. Only one year later, in 1999 , the Jailhotel opened. During the last 30 years though, only remand prisoners and conscientious objectors stayed in this prison. Although this prison had only space for 55 inmates, there were more that most of the time. The prison also had a guillotine, which is now in the museum of history in Lucerne. In 1998 the prison Grosshof in Kriens was build the new prison outside the city were safety and space.
