The Palace of Justice is a building in the city of Boulogne-sur-Mer, which is part of the Pas-de-Calais department.
The Palace of Justice was built in 1852 in neoclassical style. The bottom floor is in Doric order, the top floor in Ionic order. The pediment shows five allegorical figures: Justice, flanked by Trade, Industry, Craft and Art. In the niches you will find the statues of Charlemagne and Napoleon Bonaparte.
In 1970, a new building was added to the historic structure.
The foundations of a square Roman tower were found beneath the building.
