St. Nicolai, Gothic church in Lüneburg, Germany.
The red brick basilica features three naves with side chapels and reaches a height of 92.7 meters with its prominent steeple.
Construction of St. Nicolai began in 1407 as a chapel for boatmen and salt barrel makers, expanding into a church that was consecrated in 1409.
The main altar, created by Hans Bornemann and Hans Snitger around 1450, displays six prophets wearing medieval merchant clothing in its predella section.
Located at Lüner Str. 15 in Lüneburg, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features and Gothic artworks.
The central nave contains an eight-pointed star rib vault pattern that stands as the only example of this design in Northern Germany.
