The building of the former St. Anne's Seminary in Nysa is a facility from the second half of the 17th century. It is the oldest preserved element of the architectural complex, created thanks to the endowment of Bishop Charles of Habsburg for the Jesuit order, who arrived in Nysa in the 1620s. The structure was built on a horseshoe plan, in which a new element was a three-story, elongated facade along the frontage of the Salt Market (Rynek Solny). The construction works were supervised by the Nysa bricklayer Melchior Werner. After the secularization of church property at the beginning of the 19th century, the facility was rebuilt to be used as a weapons factory, and later as a warehouse. At that time, it lost most of its historic features, with the exception of a string of cloisters on the ground floor from the courtyard side. Since 1969, the seminary has been the seat of the State Music School in Nysa. Practical information: The facility can be viewed from the outside. Free parking spaces in the market square.
