Court of Appeal-Colmar Tourism
“In the 19th century, the Royal, subsequently the Imperial, Court of Colmar, based itself in the palace of the former Sovereign Council of Alsace. After the annexation by the German Empire, the institution assumed the name of Oberlandesgericht, the High Court of the State of Alsace-Lorraine. Work was started on this building in 1902. This imposing edifice was a neo-baroque inspiration, and is typical of the Wilhelminian official architectural style. The building was completed in 1906 and still houses the highest jurisdiction of the departments of Eastern France.”
