The history of the Convent Church of St. Ursula is closely linked to the Dominican Order, which was active here for centuries. Founded as a monastic complex, it served the nuns as a place of prayer and contemplation. Over time, the building underwent various alterations and extensions that shaped its current form. Despite secularization and the associated dissolution of the convent, the church has been preserved as a testament to its past and placed under protection as an architectural monument.
