KREMENETS-VOLHYNIA HIGH SCHOOL

The prestigious Lycée de Kremenets-Volyn was founded in 1805 by Tadeusz Czacki (1765-1813), on the order of the Liberal Tsar Alexander II, to replace the Jesuit College. But high school was closed in 1831 by Nicolas I, following the Polish Uprising of November 1830. The rich library is then transferred to Kiev University, as is the botanical garden, as a whole déplanté and transported to Kiev. The facade of high school is impressive: The college occupied the th century palace of the Wisniowiecki family. Today you can enter the park and visit the large Baroque church in the centre of the architectural ensemble.
