Palais de Justice de Périgueux, Neoclassical courthouse in Périgueux, France.

The Palais de Justice spans 56 meters in length and 30 meters in width, featuring a rectangular layout with a cross-shaped interior design.

The construction period extended from 1829 to 1839 under architect Louis Catoire, replacing former civil and criminal courts near the city hall.

The building incorporates local materials from Prompsault quarries at Notre-Dame-de-Sanilhac and the Izards at Chamiers in its construction.

Located at 19 bis boulevard Michel Montaigne, this courthouse handles cases from the high court of Périgueux and the Dordogne assize court.

The portico design draws inspiration from the temple of Athena Nike in Athens, incorporating tetrastyle elements accessed by a grand staircase.
