Former Latin School of Gemert
The Latin school of Gemert has a special history. She, unlike most other schools of this type, has no medieval origins but remained longer than many others.
The school was founded in 1587 by Hendrik van Ruijschenbergh, who was commander of the German Order . This commander was in charge of counter- reformation and the recommendations of the Council of Trent also included the care for proper religious education, the establishment of seminars, and so on. The school was therefore established to the praise of God almighty and to the benefit of Christendom, especially for the flourishing youth . Scholarships were awarded to poorer students.
