Courthouse

The former district court building in Feuchtwangen at Ringstrasse 72 is a representative administrative building. The two-storey hipped roof building with a central projection with the national coat of arms, corner pilasters and structures in natural stone was built in historic, neo-classical forms in 1891.

The former prison in Ringstrasse 66 (belonging to the district court) is a two-storey eaves saddle roof building with plastered structure and stair frieze, probably around 1827. The surrounding wall (approx. 4 m high) was mostly demolished at the end of the 20th century.
