The Chambéry courthouse is a judicial building located in France, in the town of Chambéry, in the Savoie department, within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The government of the Sardinian Kingdom decided to construct a courthouse in Chambéry in 1848. Construction began in 1850 in the presence of King Victor Emmanuel II and Queen Adelaide. Spanning ten years, the building was completed in 1860, coinciding with the proclamation of the results of the April 29 plebiscite on Savoie's annexation to France.
Following the annexation, neither Sardinian sovereign Victor Emmanuel nor French Emperor Napoleon III, who was not involved in the project, chose to inaugurate the courthouse officially. Instead, its inaugural moment came on June 28, 1860, with the formal installation of the first Attorney General.
Currently, the Chambéry courthouse houses the Chambéry Court of Appeal and has been partially listed as a historic monument since 1984.
