Academiola in Tarnów

Academiola in Tarnów, Educational building in Tarnów, Poland.

The Academiola stands at plac Katedralny 5 in Tarnów, in the north-western corner of the cathedral square. It was probably formed by joining two mid-16th-century buildings: the parish school and the infirmary of the collegiate vicars. The interiors were connected between 1753 and 1756, leaving one shared entrance. Today the Diocesan Museum uses the building.

The building was probably formed by joining two 16th-century structures: a parish school and an infirmary for collegiate vicars. The school was recorded as a brick, two-storey building in 1597, and the infirmary was rebuilt after a 1617 fire. In 1753–1756 both were adapted for a small academic colony founded by Wojciech Kaszewicz, and in 1784 Austria replaced it with a state gymnasium.

The name Academiola comes from the small academic colony founded by Wojciech Kaszewicz and run by the Kraków Academy; after 1753 the two joined houses were adapted for it with 1,000 złoty, former infirmary rooms becoming professors' flats and the old school holding rhetoric and poetry classes upstairs and a large general classroom on the ground floor.

The building sits near the main market square and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Its rooms are now part of a museum that visitors can explore, so check opening times before your visit.

The name Academiola comes from the small academic colony founded by Wojciech Kaszewicz, which took over both houses between 1753 and 1756; 1,000 złoty was spent adapting them, probably joining the interiors under one shared entrance. After Austria took Tarnów in the First Partition, the colony was closed in 1784 and replaced by a state Austrian gymnasium.
