The Former Bourgeois School Building

One of the most important historical buildings in Lendava is the former State bourgeois school, built in a clear classicism style. The school was a ‘first-of-its-kind’ in the region and was opened in a celebratory event in 1896. To this day, the building is an important monument for the Hungarians of Prekmurje. On the façade are memorial plaques, dedicated to Lajos Kossuth and István Szécsenyji, where the Hungarian National Minority lay wreaths on the 15th of March in memory of the March Revolution and liberation in Hungary in 1848/49.
