Seminar Rubrorum
The seminar , the so-called Rubrorum , in Trnava (German Tyrnau ), a Slovak city northeast of the capital Bratislava , was established in the 17th century. The building at Hollého ul. 9 is a protected cultural monument .
The former seminary of the red clergy , so called because of the red robes of the theology students, is located next to the Adalbertinum. The seminary was founded in 1649 by Archbishop Juraj Lippay for the students of the theological faculty of the Jesuit University Trnava.
After 1783 the Rubrorum and other buildings were occupied by the army. The originally single-storey building got its present form in 1914. The early Baroque portal with a Latin inscription and the coat of arms of the founder was preserved.
From 1852 to 1918 the archiepiscopal high school was housed in the building. Well-known students were, for example, the composers Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský and Zoltán Kodály and the sculptor Ján Koniarek .
After the grammar school was taken over by the Czechoslovak state in 1919 , the name was changed in honor of the writer Ján Hollý (1785–1849), who studied in Trnava between 1802 and 1808.
