Lubrański Academy, Renaissance college on Ostrów Tumski, Poznań, Poland

The Lubrański Academy building features a four-wing structure with a small courtyard, constructed between 1518 and 1530 in Gothic architectural style.

Bishop Jan Lubrański established this educational institution in 1519 as the first modern Academy of Humanities in Poland with support from King Sigismund the Old.

The academy taught six main subjects including philosophy, logic, mathematics, classical languages, law, and rhetoric, shaping the intellectual foundation of Renaissance Poland.

The building now houses the Museum of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Poznań, displaying historical artifacts and documents from the region's religious heritage.

Two small plaques near the entrance display the Godziemba coat of arms and commemorate Bishop Jan Lubrański, the founder of this educational institution.
