Nikolaikirchturm, Medieval church tower in Altenburg, Germany
The Nikolaikirchturm stands as the last remaining element of Saint Nicholas Church, featuring Romanesque twin windows and an octagonal upper section from 1609.
The church structure was first documented in 1140 as an archdeacon seat for the Pleissen region, with the building reduced to its tower in 1528.
The tower represents German ecclesiastical architecture through its round-arched west portal, detailed framing, and Romanesque column biforia in the upper floors.
The tower entrance fee is 2 euros for adults and 1 euro for reduced tickets, though the structure is currently closed to visitors.
The southern facade contains remnants of an elaborate architectural design, indicating previous structural aspirations of the original church building.
