St. Nikolaus Parish Church, Parish church in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

The St. Nikolaus Church features a single-nave design with a recessed choir and a saddle tower attached to the north side of the building.

Initially mentioned as a chapel in 1293, the citizens of Buchhorn expanded it into a Gothic church in 1437, constructing the tower that remains visible today.

The current interior includes a late Gothic Madonna, a baroque figure of Saint Nicholas, and stained glass windows created by Wilhelm Geyer following historical designs.

The church maintains regular services and houses a 47-register organ completed in 1989 by Gerald Woehl, which serves for musical performances throughout the year.

Following the 1944 bombing raid, only two items survived: the 1942 tabernacle and the Christ figure, which were later incorporated into the reconstructed church.
