Grijzestad Courthouse

The Grijzestad Courthouse is the courthouse serving the City of Grijzestad and Chester Parish. The court was originally located in the Old Town (Grijzestad) but due to extensive damage it was decided to build a new one in the U-Stad. Work began in 1954 but flaws in the original plans resulted in its collapse in 1955. Architect Tomas Haček was hired to build a new one and his massive, though controversial construction (completed in 1962) set the tone for most of the buildings here.
