History

The Lutheran lyceum was established in the Reform Era of Hungary. The building was constructed between 1827 and 1830 in Classicist style on the location of the former building of the lyceum. In 1864 the building donated by the Kachelmann family was attached to it. Petőfi Sándor, the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in 1848, attended the lyceum between 1838 and 1839. He has a memorial plaque on the wall of the building. Petőfi failed in Hungarian history because of his Slovak teacher, who couldn't even speak in Hungarian and who hated the Hungarians because of his Panslavic ideas. He hated Petőfi even more because, he also had Slavic ascendants. Afterwards his father refused to support Petőfi any longer. The Hungarian writer Mikszáth Kálmán also learned in the lyceum.
