Parish Church St. Nicholas, Rosenheim

St. Nicholas Parish Church is a Gothic Revival church in Rosenheim with a distinctive pointed spire that rises above Ludwigsplatz and shapes the city's skyline. The building displays typical Gothic features such as pointed arches and vertical lines that draw the eye upward.

The church was founded in 1450 and had to be extensively rebuilt after a devastating city fire in 1641, with reconstruction work lasting from 1642 to 1657. This rebuilding helped Rosenheim recover from the disaster.

The church is named after St. Nicholas, the patron saint, and its interior shows how it served as the religious heart of the city for centuries. People gathered here to celebrate festivals and mark important moments in their lives.

The building underwent thorough renovation between 2004 and 2007, including new windows designed by a glass artist. The church is centrally located at Ludwigsplatz and is easy to reach.

Inside is a precious painting of the Virgin Mary from the early 16th century, one of the oldest artworks preserved in the church. The community actively contributed to renovation funds, showing the deep connection between the church and the city.
