Ursulinenkloster Graz, Catholic monastery in St. Leonhard district, Graz, Austria.
Description
Ursulinenkloster Graz is a monastery building in the St. Leonhard district featuring four stories and neobaroque elements across its facade. Corner pavilions accentuate the structure, giving it a distinctive architectural form.
History
The Ursuline order arrived in Graz in 1686 to establish a school for girls at the request of local residents. The convent became an important educational institution for women in the city.
Culture
The chapel inside is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and displays religious artworks that reflect the spiritual life of this place. Visitors can sense the quiet character of the sacred space when they enter.
Practical
The building currently serves as a private educational institution housing multiple school types from elementary through high school. Public access to the complex is limited since it continues to function as an active school.
Did you know?
During World War II the building served not only as a school but also as a military hospital and prisoner of war camp. These multiple functions show how institutions had to change their roles during wartime.
