The convent is one of the most important buildings of the Czech Baroque period. Indeed, the author of the project is none other than the famous architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. Construction took place between 1732 and 1743; however, only three wings of the magnificent plan, including a church projected on the diagonal of the square layout of the whole complex, were actually built. The convent Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, designed by prominent architect Friedrich Ohmann, was added at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Order of the Ursulines was active in Kutná Hora from 1712 to 2016, with the exception of the communist period. The convent was dedicated to the education of girls - it included a school, boarding house, chapel and garden. Today, the extensive tradition of local education is continued by the eight-year Church Grammar School. Following their sensitive reconstruction, the original Baroque cells for nuns in the northern wing of the convent of St. Ursula in Kutná Hora serve as rental housing and selected rooms host wine tastings from Kutná Hora vineyards.
