Nikolaikirche, Gothic church in Eilenburg, Germany
The Nikolaikirche features a three-nave brick hall construction with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives.
The church underwent reconstruction in 1444 following a fire in 1435, marking the beginning of its current architectural form as a Gothic structure.
Martin Rinckart, who composed the hymn 'Now Thank We All Our God', served as a minister at this church during the Thirty Years War period.
The church opens for services on Sundays and welcomes visitors for guided tours through its Gothic architecture and historical exhibits during weekday afternoons.
The church tower, initiated in 1496, has endured multiple floods from the Mulde River, including severe inundations in 1434, 1573, 1663, 1771, 1854, and 2002.
