The former Benedictine convent and its chapter house are part of the dense medieval layer that makes Sopron rewarding beyond its main square. The complex is not a flashy sight, but it gives a sense of the religious institutions that once filled the walled town and shaped its lanes, courtyards, and church precincts.
Look for it while wandering the historic centre rather than as a standalone expedition. Sopron's pleasure is cumulative: Roman walls, baroque facades, Gothic fragments, wine-cellar streets, and small ecclesiastical survivals like this all sit close together.
