Bridgettine Convent & Church of the Annunciation
Касцёл Благавешчання і кляштар брыгітак
A 17th-century convent complex with a Baroque church, a wooden dormitory, and walls. It is a rare example of a fully preserved monastery in the city.
The Bridgettine Convent was built in the 1630s. It includes the Baroque Church of the Annunciation, a brick convent building with an arcade, and a wooden nuns' dormitory, a rare survivor that has been preserved to this day. The complex is surrounded by walls and a gatehouse, and its layout remains intact. Inside the church are a fine Baroque altar and pulpit. The Lutheran church, the Soviet Square, and this convent are all close together and can be linked into a walking route through the Old Town's churches. Parts of the convent are still used by the order, so please do not enter those areas.
