Collegium Leoninum, Catholic seminary in Bonn, Germany.
Collegium Leoninum is a brick building with classical seminary architecture in central Bonn that features multiple floors with spaces originally designed for study and religious practice. The structure now combines guest rooms and residential areas while maintaining its original layout and distinctive period features.
The seminary was founded in 1903 to train future priests and shaped religious education in the region for many decades. In 1998 it ceased operating as a seminary and the building was converted into a hotel while retaining its protected monument status.
The building's name honors a religious figure, and its layout still shows traces of its seminary past in how spaces were organized for study and prayer. Visitors can notice in the architecture how rooms were carefully arranged for both learning and spiritual life.
The building is centrally located in Bonn and easily accessible on foot, with plenty of space for various visitor purposes including events and overnight stays. Options range from short-term hotel visits to longer-term residential arrangements, with sufficient facilities to meet different needs.
The building simultaneously houses a four-star hotel and senior residences, an unusual combination of tourist and residential functions in one protected structure. This dual use is rare in Bonn and shows how historic buildings adapt to modern needs.
