Clarissine Church (Bratislava)

The Clarissine Church (Slovenian: Klarisiek Kostol) is a former Catholic church in the Slovak capital Bratislava. It belongs to the complex of the convent of the Poor Clares.
History and appearance
The nuns of the Poor Clares order came to Bratislava in 1297 and built a church and a convent with the support of the king. In 1782 the Order of Poor Clares was dissolved, and the church became the seat of a legal academy and school. It is currently used as a concert and exhibition hall.
The church is a notable example of Gothic architecture. A pentagonal tower was added in the 15th Century.
There are also Clarissine churches in Bamberg, Brixen, and Nuremberg.
