Buildings of the Collegium Hosianum

The Collegium Hosianum was the Jesuit collegium in Royal Prussia, founded by Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius in Braniewo (Braunsberg) in 1564. It was one of the biggest Jesuit schools in Poland and one of the most important centres of Counter-Reformation in Europe.

First Jesuits settled in Braniewo in the first year of their activity in Poland (2 November 1564). Despite of difficult material conditions lasting all the XVI century, they quickly founded many educational establishments: gymnasium (1565), convictus nobilium - school for Polish szlachta (1565), Diocesan Seminary (1567), Papal Seminary (1578) and dormitory for poor students (1582). The XVI-th century foundation was designed for 20 Jesuits, but the number of them approached to 80, what resulted in problems with the finances of the schools and suitable number of school-rooms.

Collegium was opened in a former Fransciscan friary. Renovation of the buildings was possible by funds given by Archbishopric of Warmia. Collegium was located in the western part of the building, convictus in the northern, and in the eastern part was located a school. In the first years gymnasium wasn't very big due to lack of classrooms. There were five standard "classes" (courses) in it, of wchich the lowest was "infirma", and the highest was "rhetoric". To the initial problems of the schools joined boycotting by the protestats and some fights between German and Polish students.

Collegium in Braniewo distuingished itself from the other Jesuit schools in Poland and all Europe with a specific curriculum: from 1566 there were taught German language, mathematics, singing and dialectic apart from standard subjects. After opening of the Diocesal and Papal Seminary some theological courses were introduced, and in 1592 also philosophical courses, which was a sign of the high reputation of the school. The school was elitary and the number of students wasn't high, fluctuating from 130 to 300. Collegium has an international character - students came from all the Europe, with the majority of Poles and local Germans.

Collegium was temporaly closed in 1626 due to war of Poland with Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus (Polish-Swedish War (1625–1629)), and reopened in 1637. In 1646 Maciej Montanus, a canon of Warmia, built a new, large schoolhouse. In the years 1665-1668 the school was closed again due to destructive Swedish invasion in Poland, Swedish Deluge.

In the XVIII century in the collegium were thaught humanities, theology, mathematics and Greek and Hebrew languages. In 1701 and later Polish Jesuits applied to Rome for changing collegium into full university, but without success. In 1743 they bought from the city of Braniewo place for a new schoolhouse, which was built in the next years.

After the Partitions of Poland Braniewo became a part of Kingdom of Prussia in 1772, and in 1773 the Society of Jesus was suppressed. Prussian goverment turned collegium in 1780 into Gymnasium Academicum, from 1818 called Lyceum Hosianum, which in 1912 became a State Academy.
