Former art school in Selva

In 1908, state teaching activities at Selva technical school for illustrating and modelling received its own premises in Plan da Tieja school building. While the types of school changed over the course of the years, the Habsburg-era building remained until the art school in Selva was closed. It was not until 2013 that it had to give way to today's middle school building.

Cademia' art school

In 1872, Ferdinand Demetz da Furdenan opened the first public training workshop for sculptors in Ortisei. The multi-storey building on the eastern edge of Ortisei was purchased by the local council in 1938 and the art school that had in the meantime moved out moved back in again. In 1999, a new construction was set up on the spot of the original Cademia building, which houses the art school today.

This site is part of the tour "The turn-of-the-century economic boom in Ortisei: villas and workshops".

Former primary and technical school in Ortisei

The multi-storey school building on Stetteneck square was opened in 1890 and originally housed the primary school. The new state-run technical school for illustrating and modelling was also found here. In 1938, the technical school moved to the adapted Cademia building. The primary school moved to today's school building in the 1980s. Today, the library, music school, post office and Catores Alpine school are housed in the old school building.
