The monks came here in 1720, and seven years later King August II gave them the building of the former mint along with the adjacent area.
It soon turned out that the mint was too small. A fundraiser for the expansion of the school has started. The local nobility made generous donations. In 1729, the first wing was completed for the purpose of the Jesuit residence, while the second, housing a school, was completed in 1751. The building of the former college is still visible today.
The brick boarding school building, consisting of a residence, a school and an outbuilding, was built on a small plot next to the city wall. Its curvature imposed a specific arched shape on the school. It was once intricately decorated: incl. through stone busts of Jesuit saints and stone vases set on pedestals. We can also find portals flanked by Ionic pilasters. The residence was crowned with a wooden turret in which the so-called student ringtones.
Jesuit residence
The Jesuits were not only set high spiritual requirements, but were recruited on the basis of their intellectual predispositions and strong personality. They were taught so that they could understand the modern world well and were not afraid to influence it. No wonder then that the Jesuits were entrusted with running the school in Wschowa.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
