The complex also included an orphanage, a day-care centre for school children and a Lutheran school. In 1910 the buildings had to be closed due to dilapidation. Later that year the church was demolished and rebuilt in its present form in 1912.\n&\npatrimoniu.sibiu.ro|https:\/\/patrimoniu.sibiu.ro\/biserici\/biserica\/32","town":{"townId":75,"name_HU":"Nagyszeben","name_LO":"Sibiu","seolink":"nagyszeben-sibiu","oldcounty":36,"country":4}},"language":"en","region":"romania","regionid":4,"offer":[],"gallery":false,"album":false}
