History

In 1864, the Diocese of Csanád invited the first nuns of the order Sorores Pauperes de Nostra Domina to Temesvár to promote the education of children. By 1881, the new convent and school were completed, and the convent church was built in 1894 in neo-Romanesque style. From 1890, the building was enlarged and the Catholic elementary school also moved here. In 1931, it was upgraded to a high school and became Notre Dame Roman Catholic Girls' High School. In 1948 the order was dissolved by the communists. In 1992 it was re-established and the nuns returned to the city.
