Sankt-Nikolai-Kirche, Gothic church in Luckau, Germany.
Description
Sankt-Nikolai-Kirche is a brick church in the Gothic style and one of the largest medieval church spaces in Brandenburg. The interior features soaring vaults supported by sturdy columns, and visitors can climb a spiral staircase to reach the upper gallery.
History
Construction of the church began in the Middle Ages and was substantially rebuilt following a major city fire in the 14th century. This reconstruction shaped its current form with expanded spaces and new architectural features.

Practical
The church is located in Luckau's old town and is easily reached on foot. Access to the upper levels requires climbing narrow stairs, and daytime visits are recommended to fully appreciate the interior details.
