The fronton bears the inscription «Tribunal d'instance» recalling that Baugé was the chief district town. The interior has retained its paintings and decoration from the time of Napoleon III. At the rear of the Tribunal, the prison was put into service in 1864 and functioned until 1951\. The interior buildings were completely demolished in 1980 and replaced by the Cultural Centre. Only the wall remains today.
