Alte Akademie

Exquisite Renaissance architecture

Neuhauser Straße 51
Innenstadt
Munich, Bayern 80331

Made up of four wings, this imposing Renaissance building was originally erected as a Jesuit school at the end of the sixteenth century. After the Jesuit Order was banned in 1773, the house was used by a variety of different institutions including the Bavarian State Library between 1774-1843 and the Academy of Fine Arts in 1784-1885. Munich's university was even temporarily accommodated here until its campus was completed. The Alte Akademie was destroyed in the Second World War but was rebuilt and is now home to the Regional Department of Statistics.
