After the dissolution of the order, the Baroque Jesuit college in Jičín served as barracks — first for the imperial and then for the Czechoslovak army. After 1968 the complex was used by Soviet troops; the signals battalion stationed in Jičín was withdrawn in March–April 1991. After the troops left, the building stood empty and deteriorated, and the town later began its gradual repair.

Барочная иезуитская коллегия в Йичине после упразднения ордена использовалась как казармы — сначала императорской, затем чехословацкой армией. После 1968 года комплекс занимали советские войска; расквартированный в Йичине батальон связи был выведен в марте — апреле 1991 года. После ухода войск здание пустовало и ветшало, позднее город начал его поэтапный ремонт.
