Victoria County Court House, Courthouse in Victoria County, Canada.

The Victoria County Court House is a two-storey building in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, built of granite and wooden clapboard in the Classical Revival style with a hipped roof. It was originally asymmetrical, with a centre block and an east wing; a west wing was added in 1967.

Victoria County was split off from Cape Breton County in 1851, leaving the new county without a court house of its own. The building was constructed in 1889 by Phillip MacRae, a carpenter from Big Baddeck. In 1989 it was recognized as a historic property under the Nova Scotia Heritage Property Act.

The building's name recalls Victoria County's separation from Cape Breton County in 1851, which left the new county without a court house until this one was built. Its granite and clapboard construction by carpenter Phillip MacRae of Big Baddeck ties the courthouse to local tradespeople rather than outside architects.

The court house stands in Baddeck, Victoria County, on Cape Breton Island. Its granite and clapboard exterior, hipped roof and 1967 west wing can be viewed from the street; the building is a working courthouse, so interior access depends on court business.
