Biserica Ursulinelor Sibiu

The Ursuline Church in Sibiu is a religious monument set in the historic centre of the city, linked to the work of the Ursuline order of nuns, who devoted themselves above all to the education of girls. The building has Gothic origins, deriving from an older monastery, but over time it underwent changes, gaining Baroque elements after the alterations made when it was taken over by the Ursulines. Alongside the church a monastic complex developed, with spaces devoted to teaching, which made the ensemble an important centre of education in old Sibiu.

The interior preserves architectural and decorative elements that illustrate the blending of styles. Set near the other monuments of the Sibiu historic centre, the church can easily be included in a walking tour of the city, alongside the medieval squares, defensive towers and emblematic buildings. The site reflects the rich cultural and religious heritage of Sibiu, a city with a remarkable urban heritage recognised across Europe.
