Ancien Collège des Jésuites de Reims
Ancien Collège des Jésuites de Reims, Historical museum and educational complex in Reims, France
The Ancien Collège des Jésuites features a French Baroque library adorned with garlands, scrolls, and cherubs alongside a decorated refectory with wooden panels.
Founded in 1608 by the Society of Jesus, the college operated until 1762 when Jesuits were expelled from France, leading to its transformation into various institutions.
The refectory displays Jean Hélart paintings depicting the lives of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and Saint Francis Xavier, founders of the Jesuit order.
Located at 1 Place Museux, the building houses Sciences Po university campus and the Regional Contemporary Art Fund, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the premises.
The complex includes a sundial and preserved 17th-century vines in the Cour des Pères, both classified as historical monuments of France.

The Grand Est displays a rich architectural and military heritage, from fortified structures like the Fort of Mutzig and the La Ferté ouvrage on the Maginot Line, to princely residences such as Château de Lunéville with its French gardens. The region also preserves religious sites like the Abbey of Sturzelbronn in the Vosges forests and the Jesuit College in Reims, founded in the early 17th century. Urban centers feature notable architectural complexes: the Kammerzell House in Strasbourg exemplifies 15th-century Alsatian half-timbered construction, while the Ducal Square in Charleville-Mézières reflects Renaissance urban planning. The Humanist Library in Sélestat holds over 150 medieval manuscripts and ancient books. Technical sites like the old Chappe telegraph tower in Saverne recall early communication history before the electric era. Historic parks, including that of Château de Pange with geometric gardens and stone bridges, offer pathways through centuries of landscape design.
