Radu Negru National College
Radu Negru National College ( ro, Colegiul Național Radu Negru) is a high school located at 1 Școlii Street, Făgăraș, Romania. History Origins in Austria-Hungary The school traces its origins to 1869, when writer Ion Codru-Drăgușanu founded a Romanian-language school in what was then Austria-Hungary, naming it after the legendary ruler Radu Negru. Affiliated with the Romanian Orthodox Church, it operated from a building adjacent to a church, featuring four grades and three teachers. Subsequently, two high-school classes and a school for adults were added. Leading Romanian cultural figures donated funds, as did peasants from the surrounding Țara Făgărașului, the Parliament of Romania and four counties of the Romanian Old Kingdom. In 1873, the school was forced to close for lack of money. A church school with one teacher did continue to exist in the building until 1922.
