St. Nicholas' Church, Gothic church in Vanalinn, Estonia
The church stands 105 meters tall with a purple facade, featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses in the Gothic architectural style.
Founded on January 17, 1201, St. Nicholas' Church served merchants and sailors until World War II, when it sustained damage requiring extensive restoration efforts.
The building houses medieval Estonian church artworks, including wooden sculptures, notable paintings, and the discussed 'Danse Macabre' piece behind gallery glass.
The church operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering organ concerts on weekends with admission fees between 5 and 6 euros.
The structure functions as both a religious monument and an art museum, maintaining a collection of artifacts from various medieval Estonian churches in its crypt.
