St. Stanislaus Institute
St. Stanislaus Institute, Art Nouveau educational institute in Šentvid, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Description
St. Stanislaus Institute is an Art Nouveau educational building in Šentvid, Ljubljana, featuring elaborate architectural details throughout its structure. The campus includes dormitories, a music school, elementary sections, and sports facilities all contained within one cohesive complex.
History
The institute was founded in 1905 by Bishop Anton Bonaventura Jeglič as Slovenia's first secondary school offering instruction entirely in Slovene. It became a formative institution in the country's educational landscape from that point onward.
Culture
The institute is named after a Polish saint and reflects the Catholic educational tradition that still shapes school life today. Visitors notice the carefully maintained chapel and the music that regularly echoes from the music section.
Practical
The building sits in a quiet area of Šentvid and is reachable by public transport. Keep in mind that the institute still functions as an active school, so access to certain areas may be restricted.
Did you know?
During World War II, German authorities seized the building and forced students and teachers to evacuate within hours. The Gestapo then took control of the site and used it for their operations.
