Old school in Novo Selo

Summary

The old school building in Novo Selo is part of the history of education in eastern Brač. This simple two-storey stone building shows how a public service fit the scale of an island village.

The school bears witness to community life beyond the religious and economic spaces of the village.

Education in the village

The municipal description links the school with 1853 and notes its importance to the eastern part of the island. The same text later refers generally to the end of the 19th century, so the building’s individual phases are not fully clear. The building is a reliable trace of organised local education.

A two-storey stone building

The house is by the road leading to the parish church and centre. It is described as a simple two-storey building with regularly arranged openings, stone frames and an enclosed approach. Its construction shows a public function without the monumental scale of a town school.

Location and condition

The cultural heritage description lists the building as abandoned at the time it was documented. The pin marks the wider approach to the centre, not a confirmed entrance. Check the current condition and permission to enter locally; the older note does not prove that the building is unused today.
