European Court of Human Rights building

The European Court of Human Rights building, located in the European Quarter of Strasbourg, France, is a modern architectural landmark completed in 1994. Designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership and Claude Bucher, it features a welcoming design that emphasizes natural light and ventilation. The building spans 28,000 square meters and includes two large circular chambers for court proceedings, numerous offices, and meeting rooms, accommodating up to 600 people. Notably, Queen Elizabeth II planted a tree on the site during its construction. This civic building symbolizes the commitment to human rights in Europe and is a key site for researchers and tourists interested in European institutions.
