St. Nikolaus, Romanesque church in Himmelgeist, Germany

The St. Nikolaus church features three naves, a tower integrated into the structure, and three apses dating from the 11th century.

The first religious building at this location was documented in 904 as a branch church of the Stift Kaiserswerth monastery complex.

The interior contains two medieval sacrament houses from the 14th and 15th centuries, representing Catholic traditions of the period.

Visitors can observe the stained glass windows created by Franz Pauli in 1967, which illuminate the church interior throughout the day.

The church organ, built in 1938 by Johannes Klais, contains 17 stops across two manuals and underwent restoration in 1998 and 2022.
