Canisianum, Jesuit monastery in Jekerkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The Canisianum monastery complex features architectural elements from the Delft School, with seven distinct volumes arranged in a structured pattern on Tongersestraat.
Constructed between 1868 and 1871 for the church and later expanded between 1938 and 1940, this second Jesuit monastery replaced the original one dissolved in 1773.
The monastery houses an extensive collection of 265,000 volumes covering theology, philosophy, history, literature, law, and various social sciences from the 16th to 20th centuries.
Since 1974, the building has operated as part of Maastricht University, currently serving as the location for the School of Business and Economics.
The site contains preserved decorative fragments from Villa Vilain XIIII, including ornamental gateways and chapel interiors with stained glass and mosaics.
