St. Nikolaus, Romanesque church in Matrei in Osttirol, Austria
The St. Nikolaus church stands on the shaded side of Matrei, featuring rounded arches, thick stone walls, and small windows characteristic of medieval architecture.
Built in the 12th century, St. Nikolaus church maintains its original Romanesque structure while incorporating Gothic elements added during subsequent modifications.
The interior walls display frescoes by Simon von Taisten depicting scenes from the life of Christ, representing regional religious art traditions.
Reaching the church requires a 15-minute walk from the bus stop on Virgener Landesstraße B108, with no parking spaces available near the building.
From its position, visitors can observe three valleys: Virgental to the west, Tauerntal to the north, and Iseltal stretching toward Lienz in the east.
