Regional Court in Plzeň, Regional courthouse in Plzeň, Czech Republic.

The Regional Court in Plzeň occupies a judicial palace built in 1902 by the construction firm Müller a Kapsa on the site of the former Dominican monastery and the St Mary Magdalene hospital with the Chapel of St Wenceslas. The sober, barracks-like complex stands on Veleslavínova Street and incorporates a surviving stretch of the medieval city wall with a semicircular bastion.

The court was created on 1 July 1850 under a judicial reform that abolished patrimonial and municipal courts, initially as a provincial court with eighteen district courts. From 1855 it was called a regional court. After 1960 it absorbed the district of the abolished Karlovy Vary regional court, completing its West Bohemian jurisdiction.

The building's site held the Dominican monastery, called the Black Monastery, and the St Mary Magdalene hospital with St Wenceslas chapel; a surviving section of the city walls, including a semicircular bastion, stands here. The courthouse and its northern part have been protected as a cultural monument since 1999.

The courthouse is located in central Plzeň at Veleslavínova 40 and is easily accessible by foot. Visitors should be aware that certain areas of the building require authorization to enter and security checks may be necessary.

The site was chosen in 1892 partly because it was the only spot in Plzeň where part of the medieval town wall survived, including a semicircular bastion. The 1902 courthouse complex was built around these fortifications, and both parts have been protected as a cultural monument since 1999.
