Komenium, Educational monument in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Komenium is a school building in Olomouc featuring a Neo-Renaissance facade with horizontal cornices dividing it into four levels. Inside, three courtyards are arranged within an urban block layout, and rooms include a ceremonial hall with painted walls.

Built between 1873 and 1875, this structure was created to replace an older German school and address overcrowding issues in Olomouc's education system. The construction met the demand for improved teaching spaces and modern educational standards.

The ceremonial hall's name recalls the Komenium girls' school that occupied the former German Realschule from 1946, after which the building takes its present name. The hall itself, an assembly room on the first and second floors, is covered by about 740 m² of allegorical and mythological painting, dated MDCCCXCII (1892) in one of its niches and attributed to Josef (José) Hilber.

The building is located in the city center and can be viewed from outside, while interior visits are possible at certain times. It is helpful to check ahead since the site still functions as an active school and is not freely accessible at all times.

The ceremonial hall's 740 m² of wall and ceiling painting was probably created by painter Josef (José) Hilber in early 1892, as a date in one of the niches, MDCCCXCII, records. The four statues on the facade, of Kepler, Comenius, Liebig and Humboldt, were removed for safety during the Protectorate.
