Lyceum in Kežmarok, Educational heritage building in Kežmarok, Slovakia.
The Lyceum in Kežmarok is a school building featuring Late Baroque architecture with carefully detailed facades and ornamental elements. The structure occupies a prominent position beside the wooden church in the town center.
The school was founded in 1800 as a Lutheran educational institution serving the evangelical community. It was transformed into a State German Gymnasium in 1923 and later closed, eventually reopening in 1991 with a new educational mission.
The building sits in the town center near the wooden evangelical church, forming part of the local character and architecture. Its presence shows how religious and educational institutions have shaped the town's identity.
The building is easily reached on foot from the town center and visible from nearby streets. Visitors can view the exterior at any time, though access to the interior should be arranged in advance.
After its closure during World War II, the school reopened with a bilingual focus, offering instruction in both English and Slovak. This dual-language approach distinguished it from other schools in the region.
