Samuel von Brukenthal National College
Samuel von Brukenthal National College (German: Samuel-von-Brukenthal-Gymnasium, Romanian: Colegiul Național "Samuel von Brukenthal", Hungarian: Samuel von Brukenthal Főgimnázium) is a German-language high school founded in Nagyszeben, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary, today in Sibiu (German: Hermannstadt), Sibiu County, Romania, located at 5 Albert Huet Square.
The school is named after baron Samuel von Brukenthal, governor of the Grand Principality of Transylvania between 6 July 1774 and 9 January 1787. The earliest record of the school is from 1380, making it the oldest German-language school on the territory of present-day Romania. The current school building was built between 1779 and 1786 on the site of an earlier school, and is classified as a historical monument with LMI code SB-II-m-A-12082.
