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

St. Nikolaus Parish Church is a single-nave hall church with a pitched roof and a recessed choir with a five-eighth close to the east. The tower rises north of the choir, topped by a steep roof with green, yellow and red tiles in a diamond pattern, stepped gables and a small ridge turret. The long body has tall arched windows and a polygonal end.

First mentioned as a chapel in 1293, the building was expanded into a Gothic church in 1437 by citizens of Buchhorn, who also built the tower that stands today. The structure was reconstructed after damage during the Second World War.

The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra, named in a chapel recorded in 1293 and in a deed of 26 May 1325. Its late Gothic Madonna and a baroque Saint Nicholas figure came from private ownership. The organ, built by Gerald Woehl in 1989 with 47 stops on mechanical action, is used for concerts.

The church is open regularly for services and welcomes visitors interested in viewing the architecture and artworks. Organ concerts take place throughout the year and offer a good opportunity to hear the instrument in action.

The tabernacle that survived the 28 April 1944 raid was made by Fritz Möhler in 1942 and bears the inscription "Siehe, ich mache alles neu" (Behold, I make all things new). It was recovered from the smoking ruins together with an undamaged corpus of Christ and reused when the church was reconsecrated on 11 October 1949.
