architecture

The school building was built from 1874 to 1876 as a teacher training institute according to the plans of the architect Karl Stattler from the Upper Austrian construction company . The free-standing, elongated building with a U-shaped floor plan was built in the style of historicism. The main wing is three-storey with a basement and has a broad central section with an attic crown. There are two similarly designed foyers with groined vaults. The two monumental staircases are designed in opposite directions with arcades, pilasters and balustrades. In 1974, with the conversion to the upper level secondary school, the two wing buildings were raised and supplemented with modern extensions.
