The Palais de Justice in Rouen's superb Gothic architecture is also the former parliament of Normandy.
Formerly the Parliament of Normandy, the Palais de Justice comprises a main building begun in 1508 by order of Louis XII, and two wings. Built on the remains of the city’s former Jewish quarter, it is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that today houses the Court of Assizes, among other buildings. The interior is richly decorated, and on its facades you can see the remains of bullet holes dating back to 1944. In the courtyard, the remains of a Jewish building have been unearthed, and the Hebrew graffiti has recently been renovated.
