St. Nicolaikirche, Romanesque church in Lemgo, Germany.

St. Nicolaikirche stands near the marketplace between the town hall and Mittelstrasse, featuring two distinct towers and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

The construction of St. Nicolaikirche began around 1190 as a cruciform basilica, and by 1375 it reached its current form through extensions and modifications.

The church houses medieval bells, a remarkable altar piece from 1280, and numerous epitaphs commemorating local religious and community leaders through centuries.

The church underwent extensive renovations between 2006 and 2011, receiving modern lighting systems and structural reinforcements with an investment of 4.5 million euros.

The southern tower contains the bells with a twisted spire made from 17 tons of lead, while the northern tower, owned by the city, served as a watchroom until 1854.
