Jesuit College in Lwow (Lviv)

🇵🇱 Kolegium jezuitów we Lwowie
🇺🇦 Львівський єзуїтський колегіум
Construction period: 1645-1739.
Founder: Jesuits.
Historical note:
The Jesuit college (collegium) in Lwow (Lviv, currently in Ukraine), was founded in 1607 thanks to the support mainly by a Polish noblewoman Elzbieta Sieniawska née Gostomska, the wife of the Marshal of the Court of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland Prokop Sieniawski.
One of the main activities of the Jesuits was teaching. The first Jesuit college (collegium) in the city existed in 1608 inside a wooden building. Brickwork construction began in 1645. Work on the construction, extension and reconstruction (following a fire in 1734) of the college lasted for years. Many people were involved at various stages, such as the Great Crown Hetman of the Kingdom of Poland Stanislaw Jan Jablonowski, the voivode of Czernihow Mikolaj Krosnowski, Stanislaw Milewski, the Bishop of Kyiv Samuel Ozga, and Elzbieta Szczuczyna (born Potocka).
Almost as soon as the college opened in Lwow, there were attempts to transform it into an academy. This met with strong resistance from Kracow University. When King John Casimir issued a foundation act for the Lwow Academy in 1661, the parliament and the Pope, under the influence of the Krakow Academy, refused to confirm it. Nevertheless, education in Lwow was conducted at an academic level. In 1758, King August III re-awarded the foundation act to the Lwow Academy. This time it was approved by the Pope (24 March 1759).
After WW2 and the annexation by the Soviet Union and the expulsion of most of the Polish population from Lviv, the Jesuits were forced to leave Lviv too.
Currently, the building houses a state secondary school.
The “PL-UA. History by drone” project consists of 100 short film productions depicting architectural monuments that were created in the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The series of short documentary films were screened in Ukraine. A Polish-Ukrainian team consisting of historians, journalists, writers, non-governmental organisations and youth joined forces to create the films. Project was financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland.

We will, thanks for the suggestion :). That is pity however that on AirVuz there is no option to add subtitles.
