Valmiera State Gymnasium Add an Object

In the early 20th century, the building of Valmiera State Gymnasium was used for the needs of Valmiera Teacher Seminary, where future teachers were trained. In the late 19th century, the wealth of Latvians increased, and parents could afford to send their children to study in universities. The number of students who wanted to study increased, and the board of Riga Teacher Seminary wanted to purchase a piece of land outside of Riga. The piece of land was purchased in Valmiera, a beautiful place near the Gauja River, for 750 rubles.
