Without the king as a permanent resident, the buildings underwent many changes to fit its judicial and prison role. [[Louis XII]] had the Chamber des Comptes reconstructed, and redecorated the Grand Chamber, used by the [[Parlement of Paris]]. A flood of the Seine in the winter of 1689-1690 caused damage to the lower building, while a fire in 1737 destroyed the Chamber des Comptes. It was rebuilt by [[Ange-Jacques Gabriel]]. Another fire within the palace in 1776 caused even greater damage, reaching the chamber of the king, the gallery of merchants, and the main tower. The reconstruction following the 1776 fire added new cells to the ground level of the Conciergerie, and replaced the 12th century oratory with the present Chapel.{{Sfn|Delon|2000|p=26}}
