Pavol Josef Safárik Grammar School

History

The Jesuits opened a grammar school in Rozsnyó in 1688. From 1723 it was managed by the Franciscans, and later by the Norbertines. In 1790 it was turned into a royal upper grammar school. The building that can be seen today was built between 1904 and 1906 from the donation of the Andrássy family (Andrássy Dénes and Géza). After the Czechoslovak invasion it was taken over by the state in order to stifle Hungarian-Ianguage education.
