European Court of Justice, International court in Kirchberg, Luxembourg
The European Court of Justice consists of two 24-story towers with bronze-colored facades and a central judicial building connected by a service bridge. The metal facade forms a fine grid that filters natural light and makes the building complex visible even at night.
The court emerged in 1952 as the judicial body of the then European Coal and Steel Community with six founding states. The current building complex was built only in the 1990s to meet the growing need for space for judges and administration.
The bronze towers reflect the institutional identity of the European Union and create a sharp contrast with Luxembourg's historic old town. Visitors experience multilingualism directly through interpreter booths and signage in all official languages.
The building complex is located in the European Quarter of Kirchberg, easily accessible by bus and tram. Guided tours must be booked well in advance as security checks take time and only limited places are available.
Behind the bronze facades, over a thousand translators and interpreters work daily processing legal documents and hearings in 24 languages. The complex has its own libraries with collections of European case law distributed across several floors.
