Palais Thiac, Historical courthouse in Bordeaux, France

The Palais Thiac exhibits a neoclassical design with twelve Doric columns at its entrance and a grand peristyle inspired by Greek temples.

Built between 1839 and 1846 by architect Joseph-Adolphe Thiac, the palace received its historical monument status on March 19, 1979.

The Montesquieu room contains portraits of Napoleon I and Napoleon III, reflecting the connection between historical and contemporary French justice.

The courthouse includes fourteen courtrooms and functions as the Court of Appeal, Assize Court, and Labor Court of Bordeaux.

The central hall spans over 1000 square meters with Doric-Ionic columns and coffered ceilings, serving as a meeting space for lawyers and litigants.
