Demolished or destroyed.

The Jesuit College in Polotsk, in Polatsak, Belarus, was established by the Jesuit Order in 1580 in what was then the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Russian Empire later occupied the city, and the college operated until 1820, when the Jesuits were banished from the empire. The Baroque building was demolished that year and is now recognised as cultural heritage of Belarus.
