Kroměříž Grammar School

Directions Website Call Facebook

The grammar school building on Masarykovo náměstí was built in 1889–1890 in what was then the Blacksmiths' Suburb (Kovářské předměstí), on the site of older houses and a 17th-century military hospital.

The Czech grammar school (gymnázium) was founded in Kroměříž in 1882, in the time of the town's first Czech mayor, Vojtěch Kulp. The new school was headed by the educator František Višňák, and singing was taught by Jan Talich, father of the conductor Václav Talich.

A memorial plaque on the building honours the school's most notable graduate, Bohuslav Ečer, a general of the military justice service and professor of international law, who led the Czechoslovak delegation at the Nuremberg trials.

The building is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reserve.
