Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic

The Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic is a Renaissance Revival-style courthouse located at Žerotínovo náměstí in Brno. The building houses the institution responsible for addressing constitutional disputes, rights violations, and cases involving the legality of governmental actions.

The structure was built between 1875 and 1878, originally serving as the seat of the Moravian regional legislature. It was converted to house the Constitutional Court following the establishment of the independent Czech state in 1993.

The court's library maintains an extensive collection of constitutional law, international law, and European law resources for legal research and education.

The building can be viewed from the outside and appreciated for its architectural style and role in the Czech legal system. It sits in a central location in Brno, easily accessible on foot alongside other historic structures in the area.

The court holds the power to review and invalidate laws that conflict with the Czech constitution, with decisions that become binding nationwide. This authority makes it a pivotal force in shaping how constitutional rights are protected across the country.
