Church of St. Nicholas, Tallinn

The Church of St. Nicholas stands in Tallinn's old town, featuring Neoclassical architecture with a rectangular chancel and three-aisled nave design point.

Founded in 1827, the church developed from a merchant parish into an Eastern Orthodox center through multiple construction phases spanning several centuries.

The building functions as the Niguliste Museum, displaying medieval ecclesiastical art collections, including wooden sculptures and northern German altarpieces.

The structure serves as both a museum and concert venue, offering guided tours of religious artifacts and musical performances throughout the year.

The church houses a four-meter-high brass candelabrum from 1519, representing one of the largest medieval candleholders in Europe.
