St. Nikolai-Kirche

St. Nikolai-Kirche is a Gothic building constructed from fieldstone that sits on a small hill in the center of Bad Sachsa. The church houses three cast steel bells and displays characteristic features of its architectural style.

The church tower originated in the 12th century as a defensive structure. A chapel was built around 1300 and subsequently connected to the tower to form the complete building that stands today.

The 1595 altar features a triptych depicting the Annunciation, Nativity, and Last Supper through detailed carved panels that tell key moments of Christian faith.

The church is accessible via a footpath up the small hill and offers views over Bad Sachsa's town center. Access for visitors is generally available, especially during services or designated visiting hours for those wishing to explore the interior.

The 1711 pulpit features a figure of Moses holding the Tablets of Law, along with symbols connected to the region's historical governance. This combination of biblical and local imagery in a single piece represents an unusual merging of religious faith and territorial identity.
