The Clarissine Church (Slovak: Kostol Povýšenia svätého Kríža, known as Kostol klarisiek) is a Gothic church, part of a complex of medieval buildings forming the former Convent of Poor Clares in the Old Town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.
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.
[1] The Order of Poor Clares was expelled from the Kingdom of Hungary in 1782 by the decree of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor.
During the complex's time as a school, Jozef Murgaš and Béla Bartók studied there.
