History

It was established in 1618 and given royal assent as 'le séminaire royal de Sainte Anne' in 1659. In 1660 it was formally linked to the University of Toulouse. [1] As it was in his Diocese, the College was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Toulouse, who visited the college in 1669. The Irish College in Toulouse, was a sister college of the Irish College in Bordeaux. [2] Like Bordeaux it was supported by Anne of Austria, it followed the Bordeaux statues until it was constituted with its own statues. [3] It obtained its own fully separate statues from Archbishop Charles Antoine de La Roche-Aymon, sanctioned by Pope Benedict XIV in 1754. [4] It was closed in 1793 like the other Irish Colleges in French-controlled areas, following the French Revolution. Its property was sold by the French Government, while later in 1805 the remaining interests were transferred to the Irish College in Paris.
