Collegium Maximum, Renaissance Revival building in Toruń, Poland
Collegium Maximum is a three-story Renaissance Revival building with a steep gabled roof located in central Toruń. The long eastern and western facades display lion medallions and floral ornaments, while the interior features a staircase decorated with stained glass windows.
Berlin architect Julius Habicht designed the building, which served as a Reichsbank branch from 1906 onward. Following World War I, it became part of the Polish National Bank.
The building houses a university computing center and museum with scientific collections from Nicolaus Copernicus University. These spaces show how the institution supports education and scientific work in the city.
The building is centrally located at Plac Rapackiego 1 and is easy to find in the city center. Visitors can explore the interior with its original features, including architectural details from different periods.
A metal statue of Fortune crowns the southern peak of the roof, marking a distinctive feature of the building. Decorative towers at the corners reinforce the Dutch Renaissance style that shaped its overall design.
