Sint-Niklaaskerk, Gothic church in Diksmuide, Belgium
The Sint-Niklaaskerk features a four-level west tower with pointed arch sound holes and natural stone buttresses typical of regional brick Gothic architecture.
Originally consecrated in 1144, the church underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in 1333, 1573, and 1672, followed by complete destructions during both World Wars.
The church houses modern religious art, including a bronze Stations of the Cross and stained glass windows designed by M. Martens from Bruges in 1963.
Located near Diksmuide's Grote Markt behind the town hall, the church serves as the main religious center for 23 parishes in the surrounding municipalities.
The burial site of Renaissance composer Jacobus Clemens non Papa lies within the church walls, connecting this religious monument to musical heritage.
