Nikolauskirche Bad Gastein, Gothic church in Bad Gastein, Austria.
The Nikolauskirche is a Gothic hall church with a square main hall and a polygonal choir section. The northern tower features paired windows and rises to an octagonal spire.
Construction started in 1389 and the church served as a parish church for centuries. Major restoration work took place in the late 1800s and in the years after World War II.
The walls inside display late Gothic paintings from the 15th century showing religious scenes and the Last Judgment. These wall paintings shape how the interior feels when you visit.
The church is open to visitors during daylight hours and welcomes people to walk through. Regular services take place, so it's best to check ahead if you plan to attend or photograph.
This building holds one of the oldest stone pulpits in the Salzburg region. This carefully crafted pulpit is a rare example of medieval craftsmanship that has survived intact.
