Konwikt Teatynów w Warszawie, Religious educational complex in Old Town, Poland.

The Konwikt Teatynów was a school building in Warsaw's Old Town with an inner courtyard and chapel. The structure followed a rectangular layout, with the chapel positioned along Dluga Street where classrooms and dormitories occupied the surrounding wings.

Theatine priests established this prestigious school for noble youth in 1737 in Warsaw. The institution educated many influential figures, including future leaders like Stanislaw August Poniatowski.

The name refers to the Theatine order, a Catholic group that founded and shaped this school community. The building served as a gathering place for noble families seeking education rooted in religious values and intellectual development.

The original building was completely destroyed during World War II and never rebuilt. Visitors can only see archaeological remains and foundations uncovered during later construction work in the area.

During construction work by a housing cooperative on Dluga Street, workers uncovered the chapel foundation and burial crypts of the religious order. These discoveries provide rare glimpses into what lies beneath the modern city.
