Berrima Court House

Berrima Court House stands next to the imposing facade of the Berrima Gaol, and overlooks the historic village of Berrima.

The Court House was built from local sandstone (1835 - 1838).

It was for half a century the seat of justice for the County of Camden and beyond, during the earliest days of the expansion of the colony of New South Wales and the settlement of the Southern Highlands and Goulburn Regions.

What remains of the past is giving the Historic Village of Berrima its future. Thousands of visitors continue to discover the charm and antiquity of Australia's best-preserved Georgian village.

Berrima was established in the 1830s during a time of great exploration and strange adventures as the then expansive state of New South Wales underwent massive change from its inception as a penal colony to a rural settlement. It was a time when Australia began its march towards nationhood.
