About Vilnius Gentry Institute
The Institute for Nobles in Vilnius was a Russian educational institution intended for the sons of nobles and officials, established to shape a new, loyal elite of the state in the Northwestern Krai. The Institute was founded in 1834 as the Vilnius Noble Boarding School, attached to the 2nd Gymnasium established in 1829. In 1838, both institutions were finally merged and transformed into the Institute for Nobles in Vilnius. The Institute's seat was located in the buildings of the former Piarist monastery on Dominican Street, opposite the Church of the Holy Spirit. In this form, the Institute existed until 1863, when it was closed amid the wave of repressions following the January Uprising.
