Detail InformationEdit

The Reformed girls’ school was founded in 1824. The neo-Romance style of the building is mixed with late eclectic and Hungarian secessionist elements.
The most influential figure connected to the first school was Gedeon Dóczy. In 1952 the school was nationalized and it accommodated the Secondary Teaching Practice School of Kossuth Lajos University for 48 years. In 1992 the former property of the church was returned to its owner and now it functions as a denominational school once again. One of the most famous students of the school was novelist and playwright Magda Szabó. She was born into a noble-intellectual family in Debrecen in 1917. After World War Two she was forced into silence and was not allowed to publish until 1958 because she was considered an enemy of the political system. The works she wrote in this period were only published later. It was at this time she started to write novels. It is worth mentioning one of her best-known works, An Old-Fashioned Story (1971) which describes both the past and contemporary daily life of Debrecen. Magda Szabó’s personality was strongly influenced by the traditions of Calvinist Debrecen. Her novels have been highly successful in a number of countries around the world. She is the most widely translated Hungarian female writer. She was the Tiszántúl Reformed Diocese’s General Superintendant for life, an honorary citizen of Debrecen and she was awarded the Kossuth Prize in 1978 as well as the French Femina Prize in 2003.
