Court of Appeal of Colmar, Historical courthouse in Colmar, France.
The courthouse exhibits a central building with two wings, featuring a ground floor with rusticated facades and a three-door portal with drum columns.
Built between 1902 and 1906 as a German courthouse, the building became the French Court of Appeal in 1919 after World War I.
The interior design displays a mix of mythological figures and popular motifs throughout its halls and ceremonial staircase, reflecting regional artistic traditions.
The monument welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM to explore its architectural features and historical spaces.
The city paid 400,000 marks to maintain the courthouse in Colmar instead of relocating it to Strasbourg, securing its position as the highest court in Alsace.
