1891 bis 1895 nach Plänen der Oldenburger Architekten Ludwig Klingenberg und Hugo Weber errichtet. Der mit zahlreichen Türmen wehrhaft er- scheinende Komplex nimmt einen ganzen Block ein und gliedert sich in Gerichtsgebäude und ehemaliges Untersuchungsgefängnis. Die lediglich durch Brücken miteinander verbundenen Bauten sind durch eine Mischung vielfältiger historisierender Stil- und Formelemente gekennzeichnet; reichhaltiges Dekor u.a. mit allegorischen Darstellungen von Lastern und Tugenden.

Built in 1891-95 according to plans of the Oldenburg architects Ludwig Klingenberg and Hugo Weber. The complex appears well fortified due to numerous towers, covers a whole block and is divided into court house and the former remand prison. The two buildings are merely connected by bridges and are characterised by a multifaceted composition of historicizing form and style elements; elaborate decorations, among others allegoric illustrations of vices and virtues.
