Latijnse School, Renaissance school building in Leiden, Netherlands
The Latijnse School features a high-stepped gable with a widening on the right side and a Tuscan-style entrance portal at Lokhorststraat 16.
Built in 1599-1600 by city mason Jacob Dircxz den Dubbelden and city stonemason Claes Cornelisz van Es, the school operated until 1883.
Students at this institution studied arithmetic, writing, reading, Latin, logic, and choral singing, establishing a foundation for classical education.
The building currently serves as an office space managed by Stichting Diogenes Leiden and remains visible from the street throughout the day.
Through the ground floor window, visitors can watch artists demonstrate sketching techniques similar to those used during Rembrandt van Rijn's time.
