Rue du Palais
17000 - La Rochelle
The Palais de Justice de La Rochelle, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, is located at 10, rue du Palais in La Rochelle, France. The building was listed as a historic monument in 1925.
Rebuilt in the 18th century on the site of the old Palais de Justice erected by Henri IV, it was completed at the beginning of the Revolution, which inscribed on the facade, after having scraped off the fleurs de lys, the still visible inscription: "Temple of Justice under the reign of Liberty and Equality, year II of the French Republic". It has a delicately decorated Corinthian-style façade with powerful columns rising in a single stream to the entablature. Inside, a brick and stone corridor and a few pedimented doors remain from the first construction in 1604. This building deserves to be set back in order to be highlighted. However, it takes its place quite naturally thanks to the porches with which it was provided.
