History

The lyceum was built between 1900 and 1901 in the Romantic style on the site of the old Baroque school building, partly from its materials. The construction of the Baroque school was begun in 1772, but there was also an earlier school building, and the Student Staircase was built in the mid-17th century to provide access to it. The school was first mentioned in sources in 1522, but may have existed as early as the 15th century. Today it bears the name of the former headmaster Josef Haltrich.
