The Grand Seminary – (14 Samova) - a protected cultural site. Built under Bishop Gustíni in 1764 – 1770, designed by Schmidt and Lippert. In 1876 – 1878, Bishop Roškováni had another wing added to the Baroque building, giving it its present appearance. It is now housing the valuable Diocesan Library, protected as a National Cultural Monument, consisting of some sixty-six thousand volumes, 76 of which are rare 15th century prints (incunables). The Neo-Classicist building of the Grand Seminary is regarded as one of Nitra´s architectural treasures.
