Kollegium Spiritus Sanctus Brig, Educational complex in Brig-Glis, Switzerland.
Kollegium Spiritus Sanctus Brig is an educational complex housing a five-year grammar school and a four-year sports program within Brig-Glis. The campus includes several connected buildings, administrative facilities, and a theater hall that serves both students and the broader community.
Founded as a Jesuit educational institution, the school has shaped learning in the region for centuries. When Jesuit educators left in 1848, diocesan priests from Sion took over teaching and pastoral responsibilities, continuing its mission.
The school has shaped education in the region for centuries, serving as a place where local youth develop skills and knowledge for their futures. Its role extends beyond academics to include character building and community engagement.
The school is easily walkable from Brig train station, making it accessible without a car. The theater facilities are open for public events and community gatherings throughout the year.
The adjoining College Church from 1687 displays German Jesuit architecture with a barrel-vaulted nave and fan-vaulted choir. This religious structure remains a rare example of its architectural style in the Alpine region.
