Four Courts Marshalsea, Former debtors prison in Dublin, Ireland.
The Four Courts Marshalsea contained two courtyards, two chapels, multiple common halls, and a ball court within its stone structure in Dublin.
The prison operated from 1580 until 1874, initially located on Werburgh Street before moving to Molesworth Court and later to its final location.
The prison became a central part of Dublin's legal system, where inmates maintained social connections and organized gatherings during their confinement.
The building stood near the River Liffey on Marshalsea Lane, connecting to Bridgefoot Street through what is now known as Robert Emmet Close.
After its closure, stones from the demolished structure were used to repair the City wall at Cook Street, preserving a physical connection to Dublin's past.
