Nikolaikirche Eisenach, Romanesque church in Eisenach, Germany.

The Nikolaikirche features three naves with stone carved capitals and stands next to the late Romanesque Nikolai Gate at Karlsplatz square.

The church originated in the 12th century when Landgrave Ludwig III commissioned his aunt Adelheid of Thuringia to establish the Nikolai monastery.

Modern yellow-golden glass windows designed by Wolfgang Nickel illuminate the interior space, which includes a carved altar from 1500 depicting the Lamentation of Christ.

The church opens Monday through Saturday from 3 PM to 5 PM between April and September, with winter closure from October through March.

The building sits 1.5 meters above Karlsplatz square level due to the historical presence of Löbersbach stream that once flowed across the square.
