Archbishop's Grammar School in Kroměříž
The Archbishop's Grammar School was founded in 1854 by Friedrich von Fürstenberg (Bedřich z Fürstenberka), Archbishop of Olomouc. Today it is a church school whose founding body is the Archdiocese of Olomouc.
The school and residence building
The building originally served as a boys' seminary and only later as the archbishop's grammar school. The wing next to St Maurice's Church, which leans against the surviving town walls, was built by Cardinal Fürstenberg in 1855. In 1911 the Baroque bishop's riding hall made way for a new wing on Sněmovní náměstí, designed to blend in with the Mill Gate (Mlýnská brána) and the neighbouring church. Since 1949 the building has housed a residence for students of Kroměříž schools (based on a text by Jindřich Spáčil).
Accommodation for groups
After a complete renovation, the student residence offers accommodation for group events, such as plein-air painting courses, during the holidays and at weekends. The price is agreed individually according to the size of the group.
- three-bed rooms on two floors, shared bathrooms in the corridors
- two fully equipped kitchens with a small dining area on each floor
- full-day catering in the school canteen can be arranged for larger groups
- the school also rents out its assembly hall for about 200 people, classrooms and a gym
