Evangelic Parochial Church

The Church of the Rest Home is located on Azilului Street, but you can also arrive here through a patio that opens right below the Stairs Tower. The church was mentioned for the first time in 1292, as a church consisting of a hall made entirely of brick, with square shaped loft and polygonal sanctuary. In 1760, the church was rehabilitated thus acquiring the aspect of today. On the outside, the aisle of the church has a ridged roof and a small sheet metal tower, the apsis having a pyramidal roof. There are three strong buttresses at the corners of the apsis. On the outside we can see the old bell from the tower. It is the oldest bell of Sibiu, dating since 1509. It bears the inscription „ad iuva nos deus”. It is 112 cm high and it has a diameter of 44 cm. Allegedly, on the spot of this church there used to be an older stone building, mentioned in a document of 1292 as being a hospital. It is the oldest documented mention of a hospital in Romania.

The Franciscan Church is located on Şelarilor Street, being built in gothic style in the 15th century. It initially belonged to the order of Saint Clare. After the instauration of the religious reform, the church is transformed into a grain store, the building down-grading gradually. On February 12th, 1716, General Steinville donates the church to the Franciscan monks who renovate it. On December 28th, 1776 the gothic choir partition collapses, killing Toma Kielbach and injuring several monks. The church is renovated with the support of Empress Maria Tereza, being transformed into a baroque style church. On the inside it is a baroque style church shaped like a hall, arched in semi-circle, with a tribune above the Northern side. What stands out is the stone funerary monument of the General Count Damian Hugo von Virmond (1666-1722), military commander of Transylvania. In the crypt of the church there are several tombstones, including the one of Johann Haller, Governor of Transylvania. Extremely valuable is the gothic sculpture of polychromatic wood dating since the 15th century, representing a Virgin with Child, carved by a nun. The building that used to accommodate the former monastery is annexed to the church. The tower of the church has almost 21,40 m and the exterior dimensions are approximately 36 m long and 16,5 m width.

The Calvinist Reformed Church is located nearby the "Sfânta Treime" Orthodox Cathedral (“Holy Trinity”), on Mitropoliei Street. It is a reformed place of worship (Calvinist), built during 1784-1786, under the leadership of master Samuel Krempels and woodworker Johannes Schneider. The official inauguration of the place of worship took place on November 26th, 1786. The Calvinist Reformed Church was built in a baroque style, being a sober monument, with a narrow façade on the West side, over which a bell-tower raises. The tower is slim, square shaped, with windows towards all four cardinal points and over each of them there is a clock. The tower has a pyramidal shaped six-ridge roof. The entry gate is simple and it has a stone rectangular framework with a labelled panel and a triangular pediment. On the inside, the church is shaped like a hall with apsis, with a semi-circle arch. Towards the shrine there is pulpit with baldachin decorated with gilded motifs and roses festoons. In the Western side of the church there is an organ placed on a tribune supported by massive columns. Next to the church there is the Reformed Parochial House. The building has one story and the middle of the façade from the ground floor is cut through by a gangway that connects Mitropoliei Street with Xenopol Street. The house is estimated to have been built in the 15th century but it was rehabilitated during 1784-1786, when it was bought by the reformed community.

The Church of the Ursulines is a Roman-Catholic church located in the centre of Sibiu, on Gheorghe Magheru Street. It was built in the 15th century and it name comes from the nuns patronized by St. Ursula. The Ursulines Church was originally the church of the Dominican Monastery. In 1728, after the instauration of the Austrian administration in Transylvania, the edifice of the former Dominican Monastery was handed over to the Ursuline nuns, being populated by a group of nuns brought from Pojon. Initially, the building of the church was built in gothic style, very similar to the Franciscan church. During 1728-1733, the Ursuline nuns rebuilt the church in baroque style. The edifice preserves to this day some gothic elements such as the buttresses, the threefold windows in the superior side and the late gothic gate on the Western façade. Subsequently, the construction was rehabilitated and modified several times. On the Western façade of the church, above the entry gate, there is the statue of St. Ursula in a semi-circle housing. The statue of St. Ursula is placed on a baroque style die, below which there is a blue label with the inscription "Ursula". An unprecedented element is the inscription above triumphal arch that reminds us of the benefactor of the church, the Empress Maria Terezia. The letters of the Latin text, marked in red, indicated the year of the last major renovation (1774). The church has three relatively recent shrines on the inside. At the moment, the Church of the Ursulines is used both by the Roman-Catholic community and by the Greek-Catholic community of Sibiu. The Roman-Catholic religious services are celebrated in Latin language on Mondays, Wednesday and Saturday and in German language on Sundays and on commandment holy days.
