History

It was built in 1794 in Baroque style. The famous Hungarian writer Mikszáth Kálmán attended the school between 1857 and 1863. He wrote short stories about "the good Palóc people and the Slovak brothers". Palóc is a Hungarian dialect mainly spoken in Nógrád County. Mikszáth lived in a time when Hungarian and Slovak people lived in peace with each other in northern Hungary (now Slovakia). The Hungarian sculptor Izsó Miklós also attended this school.
