Jesuit Church, Baroque church in Sibiu, Romania
The Jesuit Church is a baroque religious building in Sibiu characterized by symmetrical windows and ornate stone decoration across its facade. Its interior features multiple altars crafted by local artisans, reflecting the religious artistic skill and techniques of the period.
Construction began in 1726 and was completed in 1733, marking a period of Catholic expansion in Transylvania. The building emerged during an era when new religious structures reflected the evolving religious landscape of the region.
The church serves as an active center for worship and music, where local choirs perform regularly and the community gathers for services. The baroque interior and religious artworks create a space where faith and artistic tradition are woven together.
The building is situated next to Brukenthal Palace on the main square and welcomes visitors during regular services and guided tours. It is easy to locate in the heart of the old town, where other cultural sites are also nearby.
