The original school building was constructed between 1851–1853. It is a classicist single-storey building with regular ground plan with stylish elements, simply organized cordon façade, and cornice under the roof. This contributed to the building inclusion amongst the cultural memorials. For some time it hosted a library, but in 1935 its premises were used for the National History Museum. The museum experienced the collection extension, war, and political events. Recognised personalities of the museum include: Jaroslav Hammerbauer (establishment of Natural History Museum), Josef Krejčí (Director of the school, inventory taking, and cataloguing of the collection), František Křídlo (he dedicated large part of his life to the museum, increasing the numbers of visitors, and extending the museum collection). In 1992, the building was closed, and reopened in 2013 after extensive reconstruction.
Present days: The building was reconstructed with the help of the European Union funds, and it is currently used as cultural and educational centre Kopidlno with the contribution from the municipal budget. The building includes some maintained original construction elements (historical appearance, original staircase, decorative ledges, original sandstone, window replicas, and reconstructed metal work). The building includes a small podium, atelier, library, information centre, and education room. The building is suitable for physically challenged persons and prams. A playground is placed in a large garden, and the building is available for general public.
