Zemun Gymnasium, Secondary educational institution in Zemun district, Serbia
Zemun Gymnasium is a Neo-Renaissance educational building with classrooms, laboratories, and administrative spaces designed for teaching and school operations. The structure operates as a secondary school serving the Zemun district with facilities spread across multiple floors.
The school was founded in 1858 during Austrian imperial rule, initially using German as the primary teaching language across all grades. The shift in educational language happened decades later as the region's political situation changed.
The school reflects the architectural style of the Austro-Hungarian era, with design elements that shaped many public buildings across the region during that period.
The gymnasium is located in the Zemun district and is protected as a cultural monument, which means access may be restricted during regular school hours. Interested visitors should check in advance about visiting possibilities and any guided tour options.
The school library holds a substantial collection of older books, including rare volumes from the early 1800s that have been preserved since the institution's founding. This collection represents one of the oldest continuously maintained school libraries in the country.
