Kolegium Jezuickie w Poznaniu, Baroque academic institution in Poznań, Poland.
The Jesuit College in Poznan is a Baroque building arranged in a horseshoe shape with an extended eastern wing. A central courtyard sits enclosed by a gate structure on the northern side, creating a contained academic space.
The college was founded in 1570 and opened in 1573 under Father Jakub Wujek's leadership, following the arrival of Jesuits in 1571. Over the following centuries, it developed into an important center with its own printing press established by the late 1600s.
The college served as a major center for education and knowledge in the region for centuries. Visitors and students were drawn here to study, and the place shaped intellectual life across Greater Poland.
The building underwent complete renovation between 1995 and 1998, restoring it to modern standards. You can explore the interior with its preserved historical structure intact, making it easy to understand the original layout and purpose.
Napoleon Bonaparte stayed here during his military campaign in autumn 1806. More than two decades later, composer Frederic Chopin performed a concert in these rooms in 1828.
