Gymnasium Frauengasse in Baden bei Wien, Protected historical school in Baden, Austria
Gymnasium Frauengasse is a school complex in central Baden that combines modern educational facilities with buildings of significant historical age. The complex occupies a substantial property featuring both contemporary classroom spaces and structures that date back centuries.
The site originated as an Augustinian monastery in 1285 and underwent significant reconstruction following a major fire that damaged Baden in 1812. The school was formally established in 1866 and has remained part of Baden's educational landscape since then.
The school reflects its past as an institution serving girls before becoming coeducational in the 1980s. You can sense how education at this place has shifted to serve the whole community over time.
The school sits in Baden's center and connects easily to public transit options including the Badener Bahn railway and nearby bus routes. As a protected building, the exterior can be viewed by walking past, though visiting the interior requires prior arrangement with the school.
A Gothic stone portal from the 13th century adorns the building's entrances and stands as a remarkable example of medieval craftsmanship. Few visitors realize the ground level contains a medieval vaulted room supported by just one massive column that has survived over 700 years.
