Out final stop was the Terezian Orphanage, built with a very sinister purpose indeed. The Jesuits' intent was to eradicate the Hutterite culture completely once and for all. Quote: After the Jesuit's attempt in the previous year 1766 to destroy the church at Kreuz and Stein, he soon realized that the methods he had used at Alwinz would not be successful here: he would have to use still stronger measures. He therefore made up his mind to take the community's children by force and put them in the orphanage at Hermannstadt, while incarcerating the adults in different prisons. He had induced the Roman Catholic empress, Maria Theresa, to consent. Everything had been prepared in the suburb of Hermannstadt called Trenchment. Beds stood ready for the children.
