Collegium Liborianum, school in Paderborn, Germany
The Collegium Liborianum is a protected monument building in Paderborn that serves as an educational and meeting venue. It features modern, comfortable rooms for courses and events, along with guest rooms equipped with contemporary amenities.
Founded in 1612 as a Capuchin monastery, the building was initially part of a larger religious complex. Following a fire in 1616 and subsequent deterioration, it was rebuilt between 1681 and 1683 by architect Ambrosius von Oelde, acquiring its current sturdy structure.
The building takes its name from Saint Liborius, the patron saint of the region, which reflects a deep religious connection to Paderborn. This connection shapes how the place functions today as a center for learning and community gathering.
The site is centrally located in Paderborn and easy to find, situated in the historic part of the city near other cultural landmarks. Visitors can participate in courses and events, and have the option to stay overnight in the guest rooms.
The building served briefly as a refuge for important treasures during major regional conflicts, including Reich valuables. Its thick walls and hidden location made it a secure place to protect valuable items from wars and looting.
