Mauritius-Gymnasium Büren

The Mauritius Gymnasium occupies a substantial three-story building designed by architect Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius with symmetrical wings and classical architectural elements.

The building, constructed between 1719 and 1728, initially served as a Jesuit college before transforming into a theological seminary and later a teacher training facility under Prussian administration.

The school maintains educational partnerships with institutions across Europe and Uruguay, facilitating international student exchanges and cross-cultural learning programs.

The wheelchair-accessible facility currently educates 596 students, with 362 in lower secondary and 234 in upper secondary levels, maintaining average class sizes of 25 students.

The property belongs to the House Büren Fund, which manages former possessions of the noble lords of Büren, connecting education with regional heritage.
