Elle DornerAugust 6, 2016Beautiful big palace with a wonderful view over the city! Spend some time in the cute quarter Marolles afterwards.- 4sq SUs BelgiumMarch 15, 2016Built in the late 19th century by architect Joseph Poelart, it's the biggest courthouse in the world. With a total ground surface of 26000m², it's bigger than St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Shubhodeep SenguptaJuly 6, 2013There is also a monumenr dedicated to the sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the world war next to it. Also a good view of the city can bw found here.
Dougal MatthewsOctober 15, 2013Amazing building to walk around - the scale is really impressive. Great for some minimalist architecture pictures (once they remove the scaffolding).- 4sq SUs BelgiumMarch 15, 2016During the courthouse's construction, inhabitants of the Marollen quarter, many of which had to leave their houses, called chief architect Poelaert the "skieven architect" (crooked architect) instead.
Shaz LOctober 11, 2013Absolutely amazing! So much history in this building. Must go see. C'est incroyable! Free to wander around inside and out.
Tine DeclerckJune 15, 2011Even if you don't have to be here, just go inside to enjoy this beautiful, absurd building. It's free! Try to find the extreme long staircase going down, amazing.
AaronMarch 30, 2016Absolutely incredible, powerful architecture. This building is worth a slow walk around to absorb it.- Les Auberges de JeunesseDecember 21, 2011The BIGGEST law courts in the whole world. Look and get stunned. Maybe one day, people of Brussels will see it without the scaffoldings on its dome !
DanAugust 25, 2014The building in brutal and oppressive, and kinda of ugly in places, but its hard to understand why the building is in disrepair, graffiti and rubbish everywhere, pieces chipped off statues, weeds...
avaveenOctober 26, 2011As much of volume above than below. Designed by the "schieve architekt" (crooked architect) Joseph Poelaerts. Worth the visit inside.
Mario LipcikOctober 22, 2013It is really difficult find anything if you are foreigner ... after 2 houre of search for "legislation hall" finally found it on diffrent floor and different door.
Sarah BcbNovember 18, 2014Toujours en cours de restauration depuis ma naissance... c'est dire! Sinon ça vaut la peine d'y entrer pour son architecture monumentale. Bâtiment en ruines malheureusement!
Si vous avez l'opportunité d'entrer en ces lieux, prenez le temp de visiter ce lieux magique où l'on peut rendre a césar ce qui est a césar. Jusqu'à ce que soudain un "plouf" majestueux résonna. :)
Maxim SavelievJune 16, 2013Дворец правосудия. Дворец стоит на логичном для правосудия месте – бывшем Холме висельников, где во времена Средневековья казнили преступников.
Dmitriy RaudinSeptember 18, 2015Дворец выглядит потасканным, не зря начали реконструкцию. Здесь же есть обзорная площадка, с которой видно весь город, можно даже Атомиум разглядеть.
P.O.Box: MOSCOWDecember 19, 2014Красивая архитектура здания. С верхних этажей открывается прекрасный вид на город.
Soyez patient au greffe, on pense à s'occuper de vous, on vous regarde... On regarde ses collègues... Puis... Puis... Puis... On s'occupe de vous, et la tronche d'enterrement est de circonstance ;-)
FrenchConnectSeptember 11, 2011Ok, tu trouves que ce batiment est bizarre... il ne tient que par ses echaffaudages ! maintenant si tu lui tournes le dos tu verras la plus belle vue de Bruxelles, et prends cet ascenseur surprise...
thierry debelsOctober 7, 2011fantastisch gebouw ontworpen door vrijmetselaar Poelaert - in het gebouw wemelt het van symbolen die verwijzen naar de tempel
Ou le Mammouth. Bâtiment intrigant et mégalomane.- Ne pas dire ' Votre Honneur ' mais bien Monsieur (ou Madame) le Président quand vous vous adressez au Juge
Plus vaste que la Basilique Saint-Pierre à Rome, le Palais de Justice domine Bruxelles. Il est l'œuvre de l'architecte Joseph Poelaert.
De tous les postes pourris pour INT en 7-17 je conseille la 1.5 ! C'est nul de surveiller un couloir mais au moins t'es avec TON collègue.
Joan Riutort CrespíJuly 31, 2015Obert 100% als turistes. Entra per admirar la grandiositat del deu hall.
Manou LeenaertJanuary 27, 2012Un conseil!? Bah laisse ton collègue aller à ta place, ça t'évitera de t'énerver en début de journée!
