St. Nicholas' Church

St. Nicholas Church (Niguliste kirik) is a former medieval church in Tallinn, Estonia. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas dedicated to fishermen and sailors. It was originally built in the 13th century and was partially destroyed when the Soviet Union bombed Tallinn in World War II. It has since been restored and now houses the Niguliste Museum, a branch of the Estonian Art Museum, dedicated to church art since the Middle Ages. The former church was also used as a concert hall.

The church was built as a fortification, with a double-layer defensive design incorporated into the building.

Walk along the southwest direction of the Town Hall Square, up a small slope, and arrive at St. Nicholas Church, which is also one of the largest churches in Tallinn, the medieval church. It was bombed during World War II and was mainly used as a collection of religious art after reconstruction, so it is also called the Saint Nicholas Museum. There is a religious painting of "Dance of Death" in the church. Now the church often holds concerts and is used as a concert hall and museum for church art.

In the very center of the old city is the most classic Gothic church in Tallinn. After reading this, you can basically ignore other churches^_^
