The former French Catholic Church of Bursa, now serving as the local Protestant Church. This church built in the late 19th century served the spiritual needs of the local French Levantine population, next to their Pere Augustin Assumption College. The building served this religious purpose till the 1940s (the calling card of the local priest from possibly this period shown), before becoming a girl’s student dorminatory for a while. It has recently been restored and is once again a functioning church for the local Turkish Christians.
