St. Nikolai, Heritage church in Höxter, Germany.
St. Nikolai stands as a baroque hall church with a tall spire and Weser-style facade in the central area of Marktstraße.
The church's foundation dates to 1150, and it was integrated into the city's second fortification ring in 1245 alongside the Nikolaitor gate tower.
In 1533, the church became Protestant under preacher Johannes Pollhenne, while maintaining shared use with Catholic services in its choir section.
The structure underwent extensive renovations in 1896, including the addition of a three-nave vault designed by architect Lambert von Fisenne.
The building served dual religious purposes through a mediated contract of 1536, arranged by Landgrave Philipp of Hesse between Protestant and Catholic congregations.
