Sint-Nicolaaskerk, Gothic church in Binnenstad, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Sint-Nicolaaskerk featured red exterior walls and stood at the intersection of Onze Lieve Vrouweplein and Plankstraat, measuring 44 by 21.5 meters.

Built between 1340 and 1342, the church replaced an earlier Roman sanctuary, with its tower completed in 1450 following destruction by a storm in 1366.

The church served 4,500 parishioners during medieval times and contained numerous baroque furnishings, including an altar and pulpit now preserved in nearby churches.

The religious building ceased operations in 1837 when its parish transferred to the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, leading to its demolition the following year.

The foundations of the church contained remnants of a late Roman sanctuary and a Jupiter column, indicating continuous religious use of the location through centuries.
