'''Roskilde Gymnasium''' is a [[gymnasium (Denmark)|gymnasium]] (upper secondary school) in central [[Roskilde]], [[Denmark]]. It is based in the historical premises of [[Roskilde Cathedral School]], facing the square in front of [[Roskilde Cathedral]]. The school has 1030 students and 90 teachers and a wide variety of study programs.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Roskilde Cathedral School]] was established in the grounds outside [[Roskilde Cathedral]] as far back as 1020. in the 1960s it had outgrown its campus which could not be expanded due to the historical surroundings and it therefore moved to a new site on Holbækvej in Hyrdehøj in 1969. [[Roskilde Municipality]] established a temporary school in the old buildings and in 1979 it was taken over by [[Copenhagen County]] under the name ''Roskilde Amtsgymnasium''. The school was taken over in 2007 when the Danish counties were abolished in the [[2007 Danish Municipal Reform]] and changed its name to Roskilde Gymnasium.<ref name=Kulturplakaten>{{cite web|url=http://www.roskilde.dk/webtop/site.aspx?p=18034|title=Roskilde Gymnasiums historie|language=Danish|publisher=Kulturstrøget|accessdate=2012-08-01}}</ref><br />

The main building facing the cathedral square is from 1842 and was designed by [[Jørgen Hansen Koch]] in the [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] style but integrates medieval parts.
