A court of honor (French: cour d'honneur; German: Ehrenhof) is the principal and formal approach and forecourt of a large building. It is usually defined by two secondary wings projecting forward from the main central block (corps de logis), sometimes with a fourth side, consisting of a low wing or a railing.[1] The Palace of Versailles (illustration) and Blenheim Palace (plan) both feature such entrance courts.
