The former Bishop's Palace is a building in Roermond, located at Pollartstraat 5.
The building was built from 1666-1670 to a design by Joseph van Halle, after the predecessor was destroyed in the city fire of 1665. The classicist entrance gate with checkered Ionic pilasters is contemporary.
It was renovated around 1780 by Bishop Philip Damiaan Lodewijk van Hoensbroeck. A fence was added in Louis XVI style.
The French arrived around 1796 and the palace was used, among other things, as a residence for the French general Miranda. After this, the palace was used as a court and from 1822 to 1996 it was a court.
A House of Arrest, later called the House of Detention, was built next to the palace from 1858-1863. This was later expanded with a wing on Damiaanstraat and a ring wall. In 2000, a new prison was completed and the building became vacant. In 2007, a hotel was built on that site, which was called "Het Arresthuis".
