St. Nikolai

St. Nikolai is a Gothic church in Korbach with a distinctive western tower built in 1359 that dominates the skyline. The interior features a wide central space supported by rounded columns covered with ribbed vaulting throughout.

Construction started in the 14th century as a parish church and expanded significantly in the 15th century with the addition of a choir and main hall. These additions reflect how the building grew in importance to the city over time.

Today, the church hosts concerts and religious services that draw people from across the region together. It remains a vital gathering space where cultural events bring the community together throughout the year.

The church is located in the Neustadt district with parking available nearby for visitors. Regular guided tours are offered throughout the week to help you understand the building and its details.

Inside stands an imposing alabaster tomb of Prince Georg Friedrich von Waldeck that has been there since 1692. This funerary monument ranks among the most remarkable artistic features you will find in the building.
