Colleges of St Omer, Bruges and Liège, Catholic Jesuit college building in Saint-Omer, France.

The three-story stone college building features classical architectural elements with large windows and a symmetrical facade along rue Saint-Bertin.

Founded in 1593 by Father Robert Parsons, the institution moved from Saint-Omer to Bruges in 1762 and later to Liège in 1773.

The college provided education to English Catholic students during a period when practicing Catholicism was restricted in England.

The former college building now houses the Lycée Alexandre Ribot, maintaining its educational purpose through centuries of continuous use.

Distinguished alumni include John Carroll, founder of Georgetown University, and Charles Carroll, who signed the Declaration of Independence.
