The Louvre was originally built as a fortress in 1190, but was reconstructed in the 16th century to serve as a royal palace.
During the French Revolution, Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were forcibly removed from Versailles and imprisoned in Tuilleries Palace, which was then adjacent to the Louvre, according to the Louvre’s official website. They were beheaded there in 1793.
The National Assembly opened the Louvre as a museum in August 1793
