Parliament of Navarre and Béarn, Historic courthouse in Pau, France

The Parliament of Navarre and Béarn features a prominent stone facade with architectural elements reflecting Renaissance design principles of the 16th century.

The Parliament was established in 1620 by Louis XIII following the merger of the Sovereign Council of Béarn and the Chancery of Navarre.

The building represents the administrative and legal evolution of the Navarre region, housing both historical records and governmental proceedings since its construction.

Located on Rue Henri IV in central Pau, the courthouse maintains regular operating hours and continues to serve administrative functions for the department.

After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1716, the Parliament was rebuilt in 1722 at the same location rather than near Place Royale.
