The Former Main Realschool is one of the secondary stops on Kecskemét’s architecture circuit, a reminder that the city’s visual interest is not limited to its famous Art Nouveau showpieces. Its old educational role also points to the civic confidence of the town in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Do not cross town for it alone, but include it if you are already walking between the centre’s churches, palaces, and museums. Kecskemét rewards this kind of looking: not every facade is a headline, but together they make the city unusually rich.
