Collège Gilles-de-Trèves
The Collège Gilles-de-Trèves in Bar-le-Duc , a French town in the Meuse department in Lorraine , was completed in 1574. The Renaissance- style building on Rue Gilles-de-Trèves was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1992 as Monument historique .
Gilles de Trèves (1515–1582), doyen of the Saint-Maxe monastery, financed the college from his own resources. The school was run by the Jesuits from 1617 to 1762 .
The building complex encloses a courtyard, which is surrounded by an arcade. Characteristic of the Lorraine style of the 16th century are the simple high roof, the regular arrangement of the windows and the ornamented facade.
