Collegium Novum, University administration building in Kraków, Poland.

The Collegium Novum exhibits Neo-Gothic architecture with vertical lines, decorative stonework, carved wooden doors, and arched windows across its three-story structure.

Construction of the building occurred from 1873 to 1887 under architect Feliks Księżarski, funded by Vienna during the Austrian Empire period.

The assembly hall displays portraits of university founders Kazimierz the Great and Władysław Jagiełło, alongside Jan Matejko's painting of Copernicus.

The building contains administrative offices, meeting rooms, and lecture halls, serving as the central hub for Jagiellonian University operations.

Students tore down Emperor Franz Joseph's portrait in 1918 as a declaration for Polish independence, marking a pivotal moment in the building's history.
