The Eltzer Hof on the “Place du Château” is now the Thionville Palace of Justice . Since May 27, 1980, it has been intended for registration as a Monument historique .
Bernard von Eltz had the building built in 1551 in the Luxembourg Renaissance style. The gate hall with two arches, three windows on the ground floor on the main facade, the cellar and a large vaulted room (currently the courtroom of the regional court) have been preserved from the original structure. Their vaulted ribs are reminiscent of many of the rooms on the first floor of the Tour aux Puces , around 1583 and 1586.
The Eltzer Hof was bought by the “Sisters of Divine Providence” in 1899 to accommodate a girls' boarding school. From 1903 the boarding school was expanded with the construction of the neo-Gothic buildings on the banks of the Moselle . In 1914 the sisters bought a neighboring house (“Place du Château”). The Diedenhofen architect Loosen designed a restructuring project to install a staircase in the old courtyard of No. 10 and a chapel in the vaulted room on the ground floor. In 1919 the execution, postponed in 1914 by the war, was ended. In the same year the building erected in 1903 was increased by one floor. In 1934, the sisters applied for a new boarding school to be built on the site of the current Raviller Hof directly opposite. In 1939 the justice building was established. The renovation of the buildings for this purpose was carried out by the municipal architect Le Chevalier. Around 1950 the facades in the castle courtyard were restored.
