Palais de Justice de Metz, Courthouse in Metz, France
The Palace of Justice stands with three building sections arranged in a U-shape, enclosing a large interior courtyard with decorated military-themed bas-reliefs.
Built between 1776 and 1791, the structure served as residence for the royal military governor before becoming a courthouse during the French Revolution in 1812.
The entrance showcases sculptures representing France protecting its children, along with depictions of military strength and scientific advancement on the facade.
The building functions as the main courthouse of Metz, housing both the municipal courts and the Court of Appeal within its neoclassical architecture.
The facade facing Rue du Juge Michel remains incomplete since the French Revolution, preserving the historical interruption of construction work.
