Jesuit college in Jičín, Jesuit college in Jičín, Czech Republic

The Jesuit buildings near St Ignatius of Loyola include a college, grammar school, seminary, pharmacy, hospital, and alum building in Baroque style.

The college construction started in 1628 under architect Nicolò Sebregondi, following the Jesuits' arrival at the invitation of Albrecht von Wallenstein.

The institution educated prominent figures including writer Bohuslav Balbín and maintained a strong educational tradition until the Jesuit order dissolution.

A section of the complex currently hosts exhibitions, plays, concerts, workshops, and seminars as part of ongoing restoration efforts.

The buildings served multiple military forces through history, including the Emperor's army, Czechoslovakian army, and Soviet occupation forces.
