Organo della chiesa di San Nicola, Pipe organ in St. Nicholas' Church, Stralsund, Germany.

The pipe organ at St. Nicholas' Church sits upon two ionic columns in the choir area, positioned above the fifth chapel along the right aisle. The instrument features a sculptural frieze as its upper decorative element crowning the supporting columns.

The organ was built in 1841, marking a period when churches invested in advanced musical instruments. It reflects the growth of sophisticated organ-building techniques across German-speaking regions during the 19th century.

The organ displays decorative painted panels and carved elements that reflect 19th-century church decoration traditions. These artistic touches create a visual focal point that draws attention upward during services.

The organ is heard during church services and special concerts held in the building. The best time to experience its sound is during these events, when the instrument's acoustics resonate throughout the interior space.

The instrument merges sound production with elaborate visual design, including decorative painting of a religious scene within its framework. This combination of form and function makes it a complete artistic work within the church space.
