Altstädter Nicolaikirche, Gothic church in Bielefeld, Germany
The Altstädter Nicolaikirche features an octagonal sacristy, a western tower reaching 81.5 meters, and a roof turret with Gothic architectural elements.
Established in 1340 as the oldest city church of Bielefeld, the building underwent reconstruction after severe damage during World War II in September 1944.
The church houses a late Gothic altarpiece from 1524 created by the Lucas Guild of Antwerp, displaying 250 figures in biblical scenes.
The church opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the carillon of 36 bells ringing at 9:58 AM, 12:58 PM, 3:58 PM, and 6:58 PM.
The bronze portal created by Gerhard Marcks in 1962 and the organ built by Rudolf von Beckerath in 1965 represent significant post-war artistic additions.
