Sankt Nikolai-Kapelle, Romanesque chapel in Soest, Germany

The Sankt Nikolai-Kapelle features high rounded arch windows made of green sandstone blocks and contains two slender columns with cube-shaped capitals.

Built at the end of the 12th century on the grounds of the former collegiate church of St. Patrokli, the chapel served as a memorial for deceased clergy.

The chapel walls and vaults received painted decorations in 1220-1230, including representations of Christ, apostles, Mary, John the Baptist, and Saint Nicholas.

The entrance hall with gallery in the western section opens to the interior space through rounded arch arcades, allowing natural light distribution.

The chapel altar displays a remarkable panel painting from 1400, depicting the mitre coronation of Saint Nicholas, created in the circle of artist Conrad von Soest.
