#37/365 A little bit of drama

Today we visit a former market place which has been converted into a school 50+ years ago.
Béke Általános Iskola (Peace Elementary School) located at Boldogasszony tér (Blessed Virgin Square) is especially grand in this setting and yes, that is an industrial chimney in the background.

#31/365 Look what we found!

In the last few days we experienced roller coaster weather from snow to rain to sun shine, all craziness but with relatively warm temperature for winter.  Rain or shine, we're always out looking for new things to share here. When the sky finally cleared a bit late in the afternoon, I saw this wind vane for the first time!
This was found atop the school building I posted here earlier.

#18/365 The school at the main square

Yesterday we wrote about pupil, today let's talk school. Specifically The Calvinish Secondary Grammar School and Academy, located within the main square. I don't know about your school; but mine was just a box type building. So, this is gorgeous to me. Although it doesn't seem much in this photo, it is rather elegant and full of hidden details waiting to please the eyes.

Architect, Valér Mende was once again commissioned for building of this school in 1911-1913.

The first Piarist friars

The first Piarist friars arrived at the town in 1714....

Reading the town's guide, I learnt that this secondary grammar school has been operating for almost 3 centuries! The school was built next to the monastery between the two world wars following the plans of the professor of the Technical university, Dezso Hüthl. It is of Baroque style from outside. I have to find a chance to go inside to see how it is on the inside!
