The Seminarium Fredericianum or Bergen Daycare ((ノルウェー語:Bergens barneasyl)) is located at Asylplass 2 in Bergen's Bergenhus district and today it houses Norway's oldest preschool. ==History== The Seminarium Fredericianum was established in 1750 by Bishop Erik Pontoppidan as a more secular education alternative for the children at the Latin school. In addition to teaching classical languages and the Bible, boys at the Seminarium Fredericianum also studied mathematics, physics, literature, moral philosophy, German, and French. The aim of the school was to professionalize the city's business community. Around 1780, the curriculum was expanded to include navigation and geography for the needs of tradesmen.〔Hardtvet, Gunnar H. 1994. ''Bergen byleksikon''. Oslo: Kunnskapsforlaget.〕 The name of the school honors King Frederick V of Denmark, who approved the plans in January 1750. The building dates from 1752 and is Bergen's largest wooden building from the 1700s. The school was funded by the jurist Melchior Falch, in gratitude for which he was made the district magistrate for Sunnmøre in 1754.〔(Seminarium Fredericianum. )〕 Initially, twelve boys were granted tuition, room, and board at the school.〔 The school never had a large attendance, and until 1778 only two or three boys studied there. In 1808 there were no students at all and the school was closed. The school's book collection, which initially numbered 1,300 volumes, was donated to the Latin school because of the closure. For the next four years, the building was used as a military hospital. In 1812 the building was purchased by the Bergen Secondary School ((ノルウェー語:Bergens Realskole)), which operated there until 1846. From 1825 to 1831 the building was also used as storage for the collection of the Bergen Museum. A private girls' school also used the building from 1849 to 1851. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seminarium Fredericianum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
