Lyceum, Eger, Educational building in Eger, Hungary.
The Lyceum features Zopf-style architecture with a prominent Magic Tower rising above its main structure, housing educational facilities across multiple floors.
Construction of the Lyceum began in 1785 under architect Josef Gerl, with later contributions from Jakab Fellner and József Grossmann to complete this educational institution.
The first floor library contains 160,000 volumes, including manuscripts and medical codices, while the sixth floor houses an astronomy museum with 18th-century equipment.
The building functions as the main campus of Eszterházy Károly Catholic University, offering access to its educational facilities and scientific exhibitions throughout the year.
The Magic Tower contains a working camera obscura from 1776, which projects real-time images of Eger onto a white observation table through a periscope system.
