The Gothic Revival complex encompasses multiple buildings with chapels, educational facilities, and a theater within 30 acres of landscaped grounds near Durham.
Founded in 1808 by scholars from English College Douai who fled France during the French Revolution, the seminary trained Catholic priests until 2011.
