History
History
The school was founded in 1865 by the theologian Ernst Trier (1837–1893) who worked in the tradition of N. F. S. Grundtvig (1783–1872) who is seen as the spiritual figure behind the many folk high schools that were founded in Denmark during the second part of the 19th and the 20th century. The school was started in rented rooms at a farm in Vallekilde. In 1866 first part of the new school building opened its doors to the students. The building had significant new elements added in 1876, 1884, 1907 and 1962. Architect Martin Nyrop (1849–1921) who is known as the architect behind the Copenhagen City Hall designed the gym from 1884 and the northern wing from 1907.
