Berchmanianum, Jesuit college and monastery in Brakkenstein district, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The L-shaped structure features yellow and red bricks in Flemish bond pattern, with semi-circular arches and decorative masonry at its entrance facade.
The German SS took control of the building in 1942 for the Lebensborn project, but returned it to the Jesuits after Nijmegen's liberation in 1944.
The building contains a chapel with stained glass windows from Atelier Nicolas & Sons of Roermond and sculptures from Atelier Brom of Utrecht.
After renovation in 2018, Berchmanianum serves as Radboud University's Academy building, providing workspaces for 300 employees across three floors.
The interior preserves original architectural elements including groined ceilings, colored tiles in hallways, and devotion corners with paintings from 1947 and 1950.
