| description | As early as the 12th century, the consulate of Périgueux possessed a court of law, located place du Coderc, on the site of what is now the covered market. This court was simply called “Fay mi drech”, “Assert my rights”. The house of the consulate also housed prisons. Places of execution were alternatively one of the seven hills that overlooked at the city and public plazas. In the 16th century, Périgeux benefited from new royal judicial institutions: a “présidial” (court), a “cour des aides” (court of Aids), a chamber of justice.The 11th October 1800, the first Prefect of Dordogne department, Léonard-Philippe Rivet, rented a house in front of the city hall in order to establish civil and criminal courts of the department, which run there until January 1839. The Prefect Aguste Romieu decided to transfer the prisons, considered too dilapidated, in the Covent of the Augustins. The building of a house of court was the first case entrusted by his successor to a young 20-year-old Parisian architect, Louis Baptiste Catoire. The choice of location for the edifice on boulevard Montaigne showcased the building facing the fortified city. The construction of this temple of justice complied with the neoclassical standards taught by his masters, taking the urban setting into consideration. It resulted in the relocation of the prisons designed by the architect Bouillon to the western part of the city, place Belleyme, with a wonderful metal frame “à la Eiffel”. |
