Magistrates' Court, Christchurch

The former Magistrates' Court in Christchurch, New Zealand, is a heritage-listed building constructed in 1880, showcasing Gothic Revival architecture designed by architect Benjamin Mountfort. Originally serving as a magistrates' court, it later became the Family Court until 2017. The building features an extension added in 1908 and has survived significant events, including the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Today, it has been repurposed as a childcare centre, making it a unique blend of historical significance and modern utility.
