The Latijnse School has a rich history and has been part of the Nijmegen cityscape for almost half a millennium. For a long time it was a building full of education, but in recent years that role had disappeared. To make knowledge accessible to the people of Nijmegen once again, the municipality gifted the Latijnse School to Radboud University in 2023 on the occasion of their 100th anniversary.
Designed by Nijmegen stonemason Herman van Herengrave, who also designed Nijmegen City Hall ten years later, the Latijnse School has fulfilled several roles since 1544. The building was known as the Apostolische School (Apostolic School) for a long time, before it was converted into the Stedelijk Gymnasium van Nijmegen (Nijmegen Municipal Grammar School) in 1842. The building is located on Sint-Stevenskerkhof, a small square at the foot of the church, and is accessible via Geert van Woutrappen. The building houses several initiatives: from lectures and career guidance to an Urban Leisure Lab and a heritage exhibition. The Brain Museum of the Donders Institute can also be found here.
