Groot Gerechtsgebouw Gent, Municipal courthouse in Ghent, Belgium.
The Groot Gerechtsgebouw features a modern glass facade stretching across six floors, providing space for legal proceedings and administrative services.
The original courthouse, designed by architect Louis Roelandt in 1846, underwent reconstruction in 1930 after a fire destroyed all but its cellar and exterior walls.
The courthouse represents the evolution of Belgian judicial architecture, combining traditional elements with contemporary design principles in its 2007 renovation.
Located at Opgeëistenlaan 401A, the courthouse employs 600 staff members and maintains regular operating hours for public access to legal services.
The building's masterplan includes the transformation of its front parking area into a garden and the construction of a new cell complex beneath the rear square.
