Built between 1804 and 1809 as the main building for the Imperial University of Dorpat, it was designed by the architect Johann Wilhelm Krause.[1][2]
The building has been restored many times, including after a fire in 1965, and most recently in 2007.[1][2]
It features a large auditorium, as well as lock-up rooms in the attic used during the 19th century to detain students as punishment.[3]
