The Palais de Justice on Paris's Île de la Cité was planned by Jean-Nicolas Huyot, who died in 1840. Joseph-Louis Duc and Étienne-Théodore Dommey were then chosen, and Honoré Daumet and Albert Tournaire later continued the work. The article names no client. Main construction ran from 1847 to 1871, and reconstruction after the 1871 fire continued for over twenty years. The page has no infobox.
The article calls Huyot's plan neo-Renaissance and the 1780s facade neoclassical. It mentions gilded wrought iron, including the 1776 gateway. Courtrooms and support spaces occupy about 4,500 square meters.
Notable events include the Commune arson of 1871, the Revolutionary Tribunal and the 1945 collaboration trials. The Conciergerie prison closed in 1934, and the main tribunal moved to Batignolles in 2018. It houses the Court of Appeal of Paris and the Court of Cassation, plus detention facilities. The article gives no hours.
