This hall was also the venue for the famous Colloqium Charitativum - a fraternal conversation between Catholics and Protestants - convened in 1645 by King Władysław IV Vasa to settle religious disputes. It was also here, on 18 January 1920, that the German mayor handed over power over the city to a representative of the reborn Republic of Poland. In July 1724, religious riots, later called the tumult, broke out in Toruń. Protestants attacked and demolished the Jesuit college after an incident during the Corpus Christi procession. The Chancery Court sentenced the mayor of Toruń and nine rioters to death. The Protestant Church of the Virgin Mary passed to the Bernardine Order and the city council introduced a religious balance. The events in Toruń provoked reactions in Europe and strengthened the Protestant campaign against the Republic
