The first art school building, set up by Ferdinand Demetz in 1872; taken around 1900

Cademia' art school

Founded as a state-subsidised training workshop for wood carvers

In 1872, Ferdinand Demetz da Furdenen opened the first public training workshop for sculptors in St. Ulrich. The multi-storey building on the eastern edge of St. Ulrich 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.
