Our Lady College, Antwerp

Our Lady College (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwecollege) is a private Catholic primary and secondary school in Antwerp, Belgium.

[2] In 1575, the Jesuits opened their first school in the city in a building that became part of the Lessius Hogeschool.

After war with Spain in 1576, the Jesuits had to leave the city, but returned in 1585 and reopened the school.

In 1773, Pope Clement XIV ordered for all Jesuit educational services to cease.

In 1871, the capacity of the school again needed to be increased so land was bought in a series of streets in the centre of Antwerp called 'the Avenues'.
