St. Nicolaus

The white stone church features a pointed spire that extends high into the sky, marking the northern Hamburg skyline with its Gothic architectural elements.

Built during the medieval period, this church served as a central point for maritime activities, providing guidance and blessings to sailors departing from Hamburg's port.

The church maintains regular services and holds special ceremonies during December 6th, commemorating its namesake saint with traditional German celebrations.

Visitors can access the church daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in German and English through advance reservations.

The church bell tower contains a collection of maritime artifacts from the 15th century, including navigation instruments and wooden ship models.
