The Parlement de Normandie in Rouen is one of the city’s most impressive Renaissance monuments, reflecting both political power and artistic grandeur. Constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries, it served as the seat of the sovereign court of Normandy, embodying the region’s judicial authority under the French crown. Its richly decorated façade, with flamboyant Gothic details and early Renaissance ornamentation, makes it a masterpiece of civic architecture. Inside, the great halls once hosted trials, assemblies, and ceremonial events, linking Rouen to the wider history of French governance. Despite damage during World War II, the building has been carefully restored, preserving its intricate stonework and symbolic presence. Today, the Parlement de Normandie stands as a cultural landmark, admired for its architectural beauty and historical significance, offering visitors a glimpse into the legacy of law, justice, and civic pride in Normandy.
