Roman Catholic Church in Șumuleu Ciuc, Baroque Catholic pilgrimage church in Șumuleu Ciuc, Romania.
The church displays late Baroque architecture with a 12-meter-high aisle, decorated walls featuring artworks from Italian and Hungarian painters, and a reconstructed pipe organ.
John Hunyadi established the Franciscan monastery in 1442 to commemorate his victory against Turkish forces, while the current church construction extended from 1802 to 1876.
The church contains a 227-centimeter wooden statue of Virgin Mary holding infant Jesus, known as 'The Woman Dressed in Sun' from the Book of Revelation.
Located at Strada Szék 148 in Miercurea Ciuc, the church welcomes visitors daily between 6:00 and 20:00 for tours, personal reflection, and religious ceremonies.
The Whitsunday Pilgrimage, initiated in 1567 when Hungarians opposed Protestant conversion efforts, remains the largest Roman Catholic religious gathering in Romania.
