Old St. Nicholas church, Medieval Lutheran church in Altstadt, Frankfurt, Germany

The Old St. Nicholas Church stands near the Römer city hall, featuring Gothic architectural elements and a pointed copper roof installed in 1904.

Originally constructed as a chapel in the mid-12th century, the current structure of Old St. Nicholas Church dates back to 1467 with modifications during the 15th century.

The church houses 51 bells, with 47 designated for carillon performances and 4 for peals, contributing to Frankfurt's musical traditions through regular concerts.

Located at coordinates 50.110042, 8.682444, the church opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring its double-aisle hall and high Gothic choir.

A trumpeter once stationed in the steeple announced arriving boats on the River Main and alerted the community to fires in the surrounding area.
