Former Bendigo Law Courts Tour

The Old Bendigo Law Courts Building is a building on Pall Mall in Bendigo. The courts back onto and are partly surrounded by Rosalind Park.

Built between 1892 and 1896 by the contractors McCulloch and McAlpine and designed by Public Works architect George W. Watson, the building was constructed in the Victorian Second Empire style been described as reminiscent of an Italianate palazzo.

Usually closed, the Victorian Government has allocated $550,000 in the 2026-27 state budget for the preparation of a masterplan for the former Bendigo Law Courts’ reactivation. The building has remained untouched since 2023, but for the work of the National Trust’s Bendigo and District Branch, who have ceaselessly campaigned to secure ongoing use of the building.
