Ferenc Földes Secondary School

The Protestant Secondary School was first mentioned in 1560 by Jenő Zoványi, in a work about the history of Protestantism in Hungary.

In 1944, during the German occupation of the country the building was used for military purposes, and the school could move back only in 1946.

The other predecessor, the Catholic Secondary School was founded in 1729 by Didák Kelemen, a member of the Conventual Friars Minor.

The big flood of 1878 damaged the building, and the school lost its library of several thousand books.

Földes did not live during the Socialist era but earlier, when being a Communist meant being opposed to Fascism.

This solved the problem of insufficient space in the building, which previously compounded by the introduction of six-year courses and dividing students into smaller groups for foreign language classes.

Among the traditions of the school are the Földes Ball and the "Day of Culture" when students perform plays and music.
