Law court

“This is the High Court of Justice and Parliament of Alsace, the sovereign council designed to mark the royal wish to assume possession of the province, established in Colmar in 1698, in the former municipal house known as the “Wagkeller”. This building, which was completely remodelled between 1764 and 1771 under the supervision of the architects Chassain and de Rungs, after the dissolution of the parliaments under the Revolution, became the seat of the Appeal Court in the 19th century. It currently houses the District Court.”
