History

Archbishop Pázmány Péter of Esztergom established the Jesuit College on September 11, 1626. The construction of the new building started in 1628. The eastern wing was completed in 1629, the southern wing was completed in 1633 and the wing facing the town walls was completed in 1635. This building hosted the Jesuit College and the grammar school until 1714, when they moved to the former house of Behaim Balázs on Batthyány Square (now Primate Square), which was one of the oldest buildings in Pozsony. In 1858 the Academy of Law occupied the building. The academy moved from Nagyszombat to Pozsony in 1784. At present the Cyril and Methodius Catholic Faculty of Theology occupies the building.
