Ignatiuscollege, Jesuit monastery in Valkenburg aan de Geul, Netherlands.
The Ignatiuscollege consists of a central building with a chapel featuring ribbed vaults, side altars, and stained glass windows made by Oidtmann company.
Architects Hermann Joseph Hürth and Anton Swinkels completed the construction of Ignatiuscollege in 1893, following the expulsion of Jesuits from Prussia.
The monastery contained one of the largest libraries in the Netherlands, housing 250,000 volumes including rare incunabula and theological journals by 1942.
Located at Kloosterweg 34-36 in Valkenburg, the former monastery building stands on an 18-hectare property purchased from Count Franz Egon von Hoensbroech.
The college featured an observatory on its roof equipped with a refractor telescope for astronomical studies until the equipment was lost during World War II.
