About Sorbonne University
Being the first University in central Europe, Sorbonne University began in 1108 AD. The buildings and neighborhood still function as a place of scholarship and learning.
Cafés, shops, restaurants and hotels nearby are conscious of their role in history and are all well versed in the happenings of this neighborhood in the last 900 years.
Near the end of the dark ages and the beginning of the rebirth of human knowledge, scholarship and ecclesiastic teachings of theology were considered an important effort to satisfy the scientifically curious.
Due to his position as a humble teacher and confessor of King Louis IX, Robert de Sorbonne was granted funding for a small House of Theology called Maison Sorbonne.
With originally only 20 poor students, Sorbonne’s school grew and centralized, eventually becoming what we know today as the University of Paris.
Over time the downfall of theology was marked by the French Revolution, near the beginning of the Republic, and then a revival once again later in the 19th century.
This long, important and vital role in European history and France itself is important to not only students of History, but students of Philosophy, Art, Politics and Letters as well.
