Parlement de Dombes, Historic courthouse in Trévoux, France.
The Parliament of Dombes stands as a rectangular structure built with golden stones from the nearby Mont d'Or quarries between 1697 and 1703.
From 1560 to 1762, the Parliament of Dombes operated as a sovereign court when Trévoux served as the capital of the independent Principality of Dombes.
The Parliament's courtroom ceiling displays paintings by Pierre-Paul Sévin depicting justice themes through biblical and classical antiquity references.
The building currently functions as a magistrates' court and opens for guided tours every Friday from April through September.
This Parliament represents one of only thirteen historical parliament buildings constructed throughout France during the pre-revolutionary period.
