Jesuit College of Ingolstadt

The Jesuit College of Ingolstadt consists of multiple buildings with a southeastern wing now serving as Canisiuskonvikt for university students.

The institution began operations in 1556 when Ignatius of Loyola sent 18 members to establish a college that administered the Bavarian State University of Ingolstadt.

The college curriculum focused on Latin and Greek instruction while incorporating music education and maintaining control over the entire artistic faculty from 1585.

The facility provided accommodations for 150 students during its peak enrollment period in the late sixteenth century, primarily serving members of nobility.

Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, and Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati, received their education at this distinguished institution.
