Old Academy, Renaissance architectural monument in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.

The Old Academy features four inner courtyards and stands as a prominent Renaissance structure in the center of Munich, with a restored historical facade.

Commissioned by William V, Duke of Bavaria in 1583, the building initially served as a college and school for Jesuits adjacent to St. Michael's Church.

The building's transformation from an educational institution to military quarters, library, and art school reflects the changing social priorities of Munich through centuries.

The Old Academy building undergoes renovations until 2023, incorporating modern retail spaces, offices, and residential units while maintaining its historical character.

Between 1783 and 1826, the structure housed the Court Library and Archives before becoming a center for painting and sculpture education.
