The history of the Gravensteen goes back to the beginning of the 12th century, making it one of the oldest stone buildings in Leiden.
It was originally a 13th century escape tower of the Counts of Holland.
When it was donated to the city by Philips the Good in 1463, it was given the purpose of a city prison.
Arrestees were locked up here while awaiting their sentence.

On this square people condemned to death were executed. On the windows with bars the judges and other officials stood to watch. The square has a delimitation in stone on the ground - outside this limit is where the people would stand to watch.

A plaque a little further to the left under a tree explains the historical background.
