The Courthouse in Ruse is located in the city center, at the northern end of the Freedom Square, opposite the big round fountain. The building was built on the site of the former Balakchi Market (Fish Market). The Courthouse in Ruse was designed as the first such building in Bulgaria.

Its construction began in 1929 and was completed in 1939. Its opening was celebrated on January 28, 1940. Marble columns and a granite floor, a curved two-flight staircase with a beautiful railing, and multi-colored ornamental windows captivate the eye.
