Jesuitenkolleg Amberg
Jesuitenkolleg Amberg, Jesuit monastery in Amberg, Germany
Description
The Jesuit College is a four-sided complex with a baroque facade in Amberg's old town, standing directly beside St. George's Church. The building encloses a spacious courtyard and today houses several functions, including a library and residential spaces.
History
The college was founded by the Jesuits in 1665 and quickly became an important educational center in the region. When the order was dissolved in 1773, its time as a school ended and the building was later repurposed for different uses.
Culture
The name honors the Jesuit order that founded and shaped the college for generations. Walking through the courtyard today, you see arcaded galleries that reveal how the Jesuits organized their living and working spaces.
Practical
Access is possible from the street beside the church, and the courtyard invites exploration. The site functions today as a mixed-use space, so visitors should be respectful and check opening times before visiting.
Did you know?
The dining hall features elaborate wooden wall panels and a coffered ceiling system designed in 1687 by craftsman Johann Hörmann. These handcrafted details show how carefully the Jesuits designed their everyday spaces.
