KREMENETS-VOLHYNIA HIGH SCHOOL

Schools colleges and universities to visit

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.
