Pfarrkirche hl. Nikolaus, church building in Wolfurt, Austria

The Pfarrkirche hl. Nikolaus is a Neoclassical church built in 1833–1834, possibly to plans by Alois Negrelli, and consecrated in 1849. It has a hipped roof, a lower recessed choir with a round apse, and a north tower with a gable spire. The west front has a central riser, four pilasters and a triangular gable; above the main portal is a mosaic of St Nicholas signed LSH 52 by Leo Sebastian Hummer. The interior is a hall with a flat barrel vault on paired wall pilasters, a west gallery on two columns, and a recessed choir with a barrel vault and an open straight end with an arcade on two columns and two piers.

A Nicholas chapel was first documented as a filial of Bregenz; it became a chaplaincy in 1493 and a parish in 1512. From 1226 the church held patronage rights of Weissenau Abbey, from 1602 those of Mehrerau Abbey. The present church was built in 1833/1834 to plans attributed to Alois Negrelli and consecrated in 1849; Peter Konzett remodelled the interior in 1973.

The parish's link to Saint Nicholas goes back to a chapel named after him, recorded before 1493, when it became a chaplaincy; the parish itself was established in 1512. The high altarpiece painted by Gebhard Flatz in 1873 shows the Coronation of Mary with Saints Gebhard, Gallus and Fidelis and a view of Wolfurt, with the painter and his wife as donors.

The church stands on a slope in Wolfurt, with the war memorial and hero cemetery built into the church hill to the west in 1930 to plans by architect Alfons Fritz. The cemetery has arcades, and its chapel porch on four columns was renewed in 1981. The main portal faces west, and side entrances open to the north and south.

The mosaic of Saint Nicholas above the main portal is signed "LSH 52", the monogram of Vorarlberg artist Leo Sebastian Hummer, who made it in 1952. The same year appears in the signature, so the work can be dated precisely. Inside, the former high altarpiece of 1873 by Gebhard Flatz shows the Coronation of Mary with a view of Wolfurt in the background.
