Șumuleu Ciuc, Religious neighborhood in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania.
The Franciscan monastery and church complex stands on a hill surrounded by the Șumuleu brook, forming the northeastern part of Miercurea Ciuc.
The monastery, established in 1442 by John Hunyadi, marks the location where Catholics successfully defended their faith against Protestant conversion attempts in 1567.
The annual Pentecost pilgrimage brings together thousands of Catholics from Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania, strengthening their community bonds through shared traditions.
Visitors can access multiple accommodation options near the monastery, including hotels, guesthouses, and traditional houses, with regular transport connections to Miercurea Ciuc center.
The church houses a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary from the 16th century, measuring over two meters tall, making it the largest such sculpture from that period.
