Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus Neuötting

Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus is a Gothic parish church in Neuötting with a 78-meter tower topped by a distinctive octagonal section and pointed spire. The building houses interior decorations from multiple artistic traditions alongside a four-manual organ built in 1980.

Construction began in 1410 under Hans von Burghausen, with the choir completed first before additional work continued until 1492. The gradual expansion shaped the building across several decades.

The interior reveals a mix of different artistic periods with painted ceiling designs, ornate altar arrangements, and decorated furnishings that become visible as you walk through the space.

The church is easily accessible and allows visitors to explore interior details at a comfortable pace as they move through the space. Visiting during quieter times helps you observe the ceiling paintings and altar arrangements without distraction.

The bell system includes four distinct bells cast in 1949 by Karl Czudnochowsky, with the largest Nicholas bell weighing about two tons. The bells continue to shape the soundscape of the town and represent specialized craftsmanship from the postwar period.
