Kamenets. Gymnasium building.

The historical center of Kamenets has several dozen buildings that were built during the Polish state in the 1920s and 1930s. Next to the Kamenets Tower there is a stone two-storey gymnasium building with an attic. He's working here now. "Gymnasium of the city of Kamenets".

The gymnasium building began to be built in 1929. There were classrooms, living rooms for teachers, the entrance to which was from the side of the tower. The building was built in the Zakopane style according to the standard design of the famous architect Karl Padchashinsky, who was born in Belarus in the Lida district.

The Gymnasium was opened very solemnly on June 22, 1931. Tadeusz Mazur, a mathematics teacher, was appointed the first director. The teaching staff was highly professional. For example, Jan Perdenja, PhD, of the University of Krakow, worked here. Juwzanka, a physical education teacher, took part in the athletics championship in Poland. In the first year, 30 students were recruited, including 9 Belarusians, 18 Jews and 3 Poles. In the Soviet BSSR, a school had been operating here since 1940, and a monument to Stalin was erected in front of the building.

During the Nazi occupation, the building housed an administrative office. And in the post-war years, the only seven-year school in Kamianets worked in the building. Then there were only elementary school classes here. And over time, when Belarus gained independence, the gymnasium of the city of Kamenets began operating in the building in 1996.
