District Court	In 1898 the city council decided to build a local court. The architect Jean-Jacques Stamm drafted plans for it the following year.

In 1904, a prison was added to the court. Both buildings are in the style of historicism. The district court is a two-story plastered building. Its five axes are on the ground floor as arched windows with masks as keystones. The windows on the first floor are upright rectangular and coupled to triplets, with the middle window overhanging the other two. The building itself is made of gray stone, the walls and open air from red sandstone. The most conspicuous part of the structure is the central projectile with a neo-Gothic portal, the gable of which is cranked with the window above. Figurines adorn the eyelash . The top is a curved gable with the year and the city's coat of arms.	17 rue de la Première Armée ( location )	PA00085304	Inscrit	1992	more pictures
