The Palace of Justice in Vienna was built in 1875-1881 in Neo-Renaissance style. Especially ostentatious is the auditorium with the central main staircase and the coat of arms of the former Austrian crown lands. The Palace of Justice is located in the first district of Vienna between the Schmerlingplatz (front) and the two-line. In the Palace of Justice are the seats of the following institutions: Supreme Court (OGH) General Prosecution (GP) Oberlandesgericht Wien (Vienna Higher Regional Court) Oberstaatsanwaltschaft Wien (Vienna OSTA) The architect was Alexander Wielemans Monteforte, the construction manager Paul Lange and Dominik Avanzo. The two lions on the staircase and the marble statue of Justitia with gilded sword and law book come by the South Tyrolean sculptor Emanuel Pendl. Quote: Wikipedia
