Our Lady of Assumption Convent, Warwick, Gothic convent in Warwick, Australia.
The sandstone building features a prominent bell tower, stained glass windows, and extensive verandahs that extend across multiple wings of the structure.
The Sisters of Mercy established this educational institution in 1891, with Archbishop Robert Dunne laying the foundation stone and officially opening it in 1893.
The convent incorporated music, art, and speech education into its curriculum, producing regular concerts and maintaining strong educational standards for female students.
The building transformed from a convent into a reception center and wedding venue called Abbey of the Roses after the Sisters of Mercy departed in 1988.
During World War II, the convent provided shelter for students from All Hallows' Convent in Brisbane who needed evacuation from the city.
