About the location

Ancien collège des Jésuites

1 place Museux, 51000 Reims

Marne
Grand Est

Classified as historical monuments, this 17th-century architectural complex includes a library, a masterpiece of French Baroque art, and a refectory adorned with woodwork and paintings by John Helart recounting the life of St Ignatius of Loyola and St Francis Xavier, founders of the Society of Jesus.
In the Cour des Pères, one can admire a sundial and vines brought from the Holy Land by the Jesuits, also dating from the seventeenth century.
After the reopening of the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, the Former Jesuit College is still under construction to host the Sciences Po Euro-American campus.
