Rytterskoler

Rytterskoler

The Rytterskoler (English: "Rider schools" or "Cavalry schools") were 241 schools erected in Denmark in the years 1722-1727 for the education of cavalrymen. The schools were located in the 12 Cavalry districts erected in 1715-1718 during the Great Nordic War to reform and improve the Cavalry in Denmark.

The 12 districts were Copenhagen, Frederiksborg, Kronborg, Antvorskov, Tryggevælde, Vordingborg, Kolding, Dronningborg, Skanderborg, Falster, Lolland and Fyn. Each of these were meant to host 20 schools, making for 240 in all, however some districts received more than 20 and some less, but still 240 in all. A 13th district was erected on Møn in 1726 and a 241st school was built on Bogø in 1727.
