Radboud University @Latin School
With Radboud University moving into the Latin School, this oldest school building in Nijmegen is regaining its original function. For example, Radboud Reflects organizes courses and other small-scale activities for a wide audience there. There are also some thought experiments that will make you think further.
Oldest school in Nijmegen
The Latin School has a rich history and has been part of the Nijmegen street scene for almost 500 years. It has long been a building full of education, but in recent years that role had disappeared. To make knowledge accessible to Nijmegen citizens again, in 2023 the municipality gave the Latin School as a gift to Radboud University on the occasion of their 100th anniversary.
History
Since 1544, the Latin School - designed by Nijmegen city mason Herman van Herengrave, who ten years later also designed Nijmegen's Town Hall - has fulfilled several roles. The building was long nicknamed the Apostolic School, before it was converted into the Nijmegen Municipal Gymnasium in 1842. The building is located on the Sint-Stevenskerkhof, a small square at the foot of the Stevenskerk
