St. Nikolaus, Catholic church in Wil, Switzerland
The church structure features an octagonal baroque belfry topped with a copper-covered onion dome and contains a striking choir loft inside.
Following a fire in 1292, construction of a Romanesque hall church began, marking the foundation of the current religious structure completed in 1304.
The wall painting of Saint Christopher by Hans Haggenberg and the relics of Saint Pankratius represent significant religious art within the church.
The church, located at Kirchgasse 27 in Wil, maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural and artistic elements.
The church tower now serves as a seasonal habitat for Alpine swifts, a rare bird species, with nesting boxes installed in 2019.
