Comal County Courthouse, Romanesque Revival courthouse in New Braunfels, United States
The Comal County Courthouse features native limestone walls, a central tower, and quarter-circular entrance galleries supported by pink granite columns at its corners.
Constructed in 1898 for $36,000, this courthouse replaced an earlier 1860 building designed by Wilhelm Thielepape that had significantly deteriorated over time.
The courthouse design reflects both the late 19th-century Texas architectural trends and the German heritage of New Braunfels through its Romanesque Revival style.
Located at 150 North Seguin Avenue, the courthouse underwent an $8.7 million restoration in 2013, returning the building to its original 1898 appearance.
The building incorporates a Greek-cross plan with a central stairwell that creates natural ventilation by directing hot air through the stone tower.
