Evangelic Lyceum

Evangelic Lyceum

Evangelic Lutheran Lyceum (Evanjelické lyceum) in Bratislava, Slovakia, was founded in 1606 by David Kilger as a Lutheran high school. Until 1656 was Evangelic Lyceum school with eight classes, two of them elementary school. Among its students, from 1829 to 1836, was the young Ľudovít Štúr, who became a member of Czech-Slav Society at the school, an important influence on his life as a Slovak nationalist.

In the Communist period of 1948 through 1989 the school was closed, but reopened in 1991 as a bilingual school, and continues to operate today.
