The current building of Constanţa County Court was built between 1904-1906, with destination of summer residence for the royal family, as attested by the documents of that time.
Known over time as “Royal Palace”, the building hosted sumptuous banquets, one of which being held on 3rd May 1911. On that day, the ship “Emperor Trajan” announced by siren signals the arrival of the royal train to Constanţa. After the king reviewed the troops, princesses Mary and Elizabeth were greeted by a group of ladies from Constanţa elite.
At the Palace, were thousands of peasants in national costumes, who sang the Royal Anthem. During the evening, the whole town was lit enchantingly. At the Royal Palace was held a sumptuous banquet, attended by ministers and local officials.
During the year 1922, the building enters the administration of the Ministry of Justice and is inaugurated as the new headquarters of Constanţa Court of Appeal on 16 September 1923.
