High-rise towers of the Court of Justice of the European Union

The high-rise towers are court buildings of the Court of Justice of the European Union and consist of two slender towers that rise prominently over the district. These structures contain numerous office spaces and courtrooms where European legal proceedings take place.

The complex was built after 2004 as part of a major expansion of European institutions in Luxembourg. The completion of this modern structure marked an important moment in the development of European judicial infrastructure.

The towers represent a working space where legal professionals from across Europe come together to handle cases affecting the entire continent. You can observe daily the mix of people from different countries moving through the modern corridors and collaborating.

Access is normally restricted to authorized personnel, but you can view the buildings from outside and appreciate their architecture up close. Visitors are advised to explore the surrounding public areas to see the towers in full height.

The facade is made of specially treated aluminum that appears different depending on the time of day and light exposure, giving the building a living quality. This material shifts its color effect when viewed from different angles.
