Downpatrick Courthouse, Neoclassical courthouse in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland
The Downpatrick Courthouse features a symmetrical nine-bay frontage with a central projecting section and round-headed windows along English Street.
The courthouse, completed in 1735 by architect Hugh Darling of Dublin, stands on the former site of St John the Evangelist's Priory from the 12th century.
The building displays the Royal coat of arms flanked by lead-carved figures of Justice and Ceres, representing law and agriculture.
The courthouse manages Magistrates' Courts, County Courts, and Crown Courts, with staff available for inquiries about fines, bail, and maintenance payments.
A tunnel constructed in 1857 connects the courthouse basement to the former town gaol located 130 yards to the north.
