The Calvinist College of Debrecen
The Calvinist College was built in 1538. Throughout its half-millennium-long history, its cultural significance has reached great heights both within and outside of Hungary. Since the very beginning, it has provided both basic and higher education to anybody, independently of social status: children of peasants and artisans studied alongside those of the nobility. The historical significance of the Debrecen College was further emphasized by the fact that not only has it served an essential educational function, but it has also humbly served the country regarding public affairs.
