Pl. Sv. Yura, 5 – the Curia building ID: 167
Monastery and administrative buildings by St. George Church. The architectural ensemble of the St. George’s Hill is complimented with three separate administrative-residential constructions with a bell tower added to them; they surround St. George Church. These buildings form a three-sided structure with Baroque, Rococo, Classicist and Revival architectural features.
Story
The main construction dates are 1738 (the northern building, by the architect J. Jedyniec), the 1760’s-1770’s (the southern building by the architect K. Fesinger), 1865 (the bell tower) and 1866 (the western building, by the architect J. Braunzeiss).
