!!!Landschaftsschule

Landschaftsschule ("Adeliche Landt-Schuel"), name for a special type 
of school which existed in Austria in the 16%%sup th/%  and 
17%%sup th/%  centuries, a Latin school mainly for young members of 
the nobility, established and financed by the Estates ("Landschaft"). 
Landschaftsschulen in Vienna, Horn, Mistelbach, Loosdorf (Lower 
Austria), Enns, Linz (Upper Austria), Graz, Schwanberg, Judenburg 
(Styria) and Klagenfurt copied German school structures and curricula.

schools in Austria. As centres of Protestantism they were dissolved in 
the course of the  Counter-Reformation.
