Holy Ursuline Monastery

The katholikon of the historic Ursuline Monastery at Loutra on the island of Tinos was rebuilt around 1870 and is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its interior is simply decorated yet imposing, owing to its considerable height and the visible architectural elements—arches, columns, piers, and cornices—painted in white and light blue.
Within the premises of the former School now operate the Primary School of the former Municipality of Exomvourgo (Kato Meri), as well as a Folklore Museum. The museum displays objects that bear witness to the institution’s former prosperity: teaching materials and student registers, the school’s pharmacy and infirmary, looms and students’ handicrafts, books, paintings, musical instruments, tools, and items of daily life, as well as liturgical vessels and vestments.

Each summer, cultural events are held in the garden of the complex.
The donation of Athanasios and Marina Martinos concerned the restoration of the monastery’s katholikon, which was facing significant problems, particularly with its roof.
