Evangelical Orphanage

The building of the evangelical orphanage was ceremoniously opened in May 1913 according to the projects of the architect Dušan Jurkovič, who incorporated the building of the orphanage into the construction of the former mill.

The money for the construction of the orphanage also flowed from the all-Slovak collection, which was instigated by Pavel and Samuel Zochovci. The orphanage was built in a simple style, with a wide staircase leading from the main entrance to the upper floor, where there were children's bedrooms. In 1951, the General Episcopal Office of the Evangelical Church and the Faculty of Theology took over the management of the building. From 1964, the former orphanage was a dormitory for the Secondary Pedagogical School in Modra. The orphanage building was returned to the Evangelical Church in Modra in 1993.

The building of the former evangelical gymnasium

The classicist building of the former evangelical gymnasium was built in 1826 on the site of the original gymnasium from the 17th century. In the years 1839 – 1846, Ľudovít Štúr's older brother Karol Štúr worked as rector here. After his departure, the writer Janko Kalinčiak took over the position of rector of the gymnasium.

The Modran grammar school was very popular, because in addition to Latin and German, students also learned Slovak. Due to lack of funds, the gymnasium closed in 1870. Later, the gymnasium building served the needs of elementary and kindergarten, and is now almost unused. There are three memorial plaques on the building.
