COURT BUILDING
Go there and contact
Court house in the former residence of the bishop in Saint-Omer, with a room with carved cherubs.
Since 1795, the Palais de Justice has occupied the bishop's former residence, whose plans are attributed to Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Louis XIV's architect, Hardouin-Mansart helped develop a certain taste for French classicism in Saint-Omer. The imprint of this period is clearly visible on the building's pediment, dominated by a beautiful sun, the symbol of the monarch of the time. Only the civil courtroom, formerly the bishop's dining room, has retained its original panelling and cherubs.
