European Court of Human Rights building, Legal institution building in European Quarter, Strasbourg, France
The Court of Human Rights building features two cylindrical chambers connected by walkways and surrounded by offices with metallic facades and glass walls.
The building, completed in 1994 at a cost of 544 million French Francs, replaced the previous 1965 structure designed by Bertrand Monnet.
The structure represents European justice through its transparent design, incorporating natural light and open spaces to symbolize accessibility to all citizens.
The facility contains 420 offices across 16,500 square meters, with a main courtroom of 860 square meters that seats 260 people and 49 judges.
Queen Elizabeth II participated in the construction process by planting a tree on the building site in May 1992.
