Palace of the Supreme Court

The Palace of the Supreme Court is a government building in the center of Koningstad, Brunant. It houses both the Supreme Court and the Koningstad judicial area's Regional Court. The building is located at Carrington Avenue.

There is a statue of King Leuvis II in front of the palace. He founded the Royal Courts, which were the predecessors of the Supreme court.

History
Construction of a building for the Supreme Court began in 1806. The 1802 constitution broadened the Supreme Court's powers and jurisdiction and up until its completion in 1813, the Supreme Court was housed in the Koningsberg Palace, where the Congress met.

Part of the building was destroyed by a large fire in 1885. During the German invasion in 1941, the palace was heavily damaged as well.

Since 1966, the building also houses the Koningstad judicial area's Regional Court. In 2006, the Rosetown judicial area was dissolved, enlarging the Regional Court's jurisdiction. An adjacent office building was partly taken over and is now part of the palace.
