Budova základní školy v Libranticích Other
The primary school in Librantice was established after a long period of time when the education of children in the village took place in unsatisfactory conditions. The first attempts at organised teaching date back to 1778, when it took place in private buildings of local families. A quarter of a century later, in 1804, the village switched to a more durable solution - it built a special village cottage serving school purposes. In 1817, the municipality then initiated the construction of its own school building, which we now know as a building of the Lebanese municipal office. This gradual modernisation of education in the village culminated in the early 20th century.
The new school building got its place in the center of the village. The foundation stone was ceremoniously laid on April 15, 1913, about which the commemorative year in stucco is maintained on the front of the building. The teaching started on 7 January 1914 in the new building. Some historical sources, however, differ in their dating - some assign the origin of the school already in 1910, others up to 1919-1920, which shows a failure to unite records in local archives.
The architectural design of the building was chaired by Václav Rejchl ml., while the implementation of the building was ensured by Václav Rejchl st. It can be assumed that Václav Rejchl the Elder was also involved in the design itself, as evidenced by the use of characteristic decorative elements, especially pilasters with Ionian warheads, which also appear in other its realizations, such as the Morušovka villa.
The free-standing building represents a single-storey, underglued object oriented parallel to the main communication. In style, it's eclecticism with Art Nouveau elements. The building grows from brick masonry, is covered with lime plaster and decorated with stucco decoration. Part of the original design was also a park adjustment in front of the main facade, which was not preserved over time.
In 2002 the building was formally declared a protected cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. Thus, the school building from the beginning of the 20th century received due recognition for its architectural and historical values.
