BUILDING TYPE:
Special accommodation

Behind the district courts lies an earlier work, A.C. Pierson's prison complex of 1872, reached through a gateway in the courthouse with statues of Justitia, a sage and a supplicant atop its pediment. The prison complex was closed in 2014 and will get a new life as housing complex.
