Cardiff Crown Court, Crown Court in Cathays Park, Cardiff, United Kingdom
The Cardiff Crown Court building features nine traditional courtrooms and one virtual courtroom within a Grade I listed structure with classical architectural elements.
The construction of Cardiff Crown Court began in 1901 following designs by Lanchester, Stewart and Rickards, with the building opening its doors in 1906.
The court's exterior displays Welsh-themed sculptures representing Science, Education, Commerce, and Industry, reflecting local heritage through architectural art.
Located on King Edward VII Avenue, the court handles serious criminal cases and provides public access to observe legal proceedings through its main entrance.
Two large stone turrets with dome-shaped tops distinguish the building's profile, drawing influence from German and Austrian Baroque architectural styles.
