St. Nicholas church

Built from red bricks, this three-nave church features cross-ribbed vaults supported by round pillars and contains a massive square tower.

First mentioned in 1257 and consecrated in 1312, the church suffered severe damage during World War II when British air raids burned the tower and nave.

The church functions as a spiritual and cultural center, hosting concerts, exhibitions, and theater productions throughout the year in the city center.

Located at Bei der Nikolaikirche 1 in Rostock, the church opens Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM between May and September.

Under the church nave lies a crypt containing sarcophagi of Casimir Albrecht von Moltke and his wife Johanna von Wilken.
