St. Nicolai

St. Nicolai stands with traditional brickwork architecture on Schulweg 648, featuring artworks and an organ within its reconstructed walls on the North Sea island.

The original stone church from 1685 endured until April 18, 1945, when bombing destroyed it, leading to the inauguration of a new building in November 1959.

The church maintains maritime traditions through its dedication to Saint Nicholas, reflecting the deep connection between religious practices and seafaring heritage of the island.

Regular religious services take place in this Lutheran church, which also functions as a gathering space for the Heligoland community throughout the year.

The church cemetery contains burial sites of notable Heligoland residents, preserving the memory of past islanders against the backdrop of the North Sea.
