There was only a small church here, which was consecrated to Our Lady of Victory ("Queen of the Rosary"). !870 nuns moved here. In 1906 the church, the sisters' house and the children's home burned down and a new one was built. The Torgau Catholics then chose the name "Mta Dolorosa" (Sorrowful Mother).
