!!!Akademisches Gymnasium

Akademisches Gymnasium, originally a selective secondary school 
connected to a university, now an honorary title for successor 
schools. The Vienna Akademisches Gymnasium was founded by the Jesuits 
in 1552 and was originally located in the Dominican Monastery. The 
Akademisches Gymnasium was taken over by the Piarists in 1802, after 
which secular teachers began to teach there. The present historicist 
building was built 1863-1866 by F. von  Schmidt. There are other 
Akademische Gymnasium schools in Linz (founded 1542, 1608), Innsbruck 
(1562), Graz (1573) and Salzburg (1617).
