The Palais de justice historique de Lyon is a building located in Quai Romain Rolland, on the right bank of the Saône, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon.

[1] Its construction began in 1835 and ended in 1845, under the direction of architect Louis-Pierre Baltard.

It was built in the same location as the previous courthouses that had been there since the 15th century.

In 1995, construction of a new courthouse in the district of La Part-Dieu allowed the transfer of the Tribunal de Grande Instance, the Tribunal d'Instance and the Tribunal de commerce de Lyon.

In 2008, the building was the subject of a comprehensive renovation (including accessibility, upgrading and security).
