Saint Nicholas church, Modern church in Metković, Croatia.

Saint Nicholas church in Metković is a two-storey complex designed by architect Marina Hren, with a 42-metre bell tower. The ground floor (58 x 31 m) houses catechetical rooms, a library, a local collection, a kindergarten, a day chapel and a shelter; above it is the church hall (42 x 21 m) with a dome 19 m high. The entrance facade has three arcades with three doors beneath and a round stained-glass opening above, and the whole centre is painted white and yellow after the Vatican flag.

The parish of St. Nicholas Bishop was founded on 15 September 1969 by a decree of Archbishop Frane Franić. Because the authorities refused permission for a church, a building registered as residential was put up and its ground floor turned into a chapel, blessed on 28 September 1969 by Auxiliary Bishop Ivo Gugić. The permit for the present church came only in 1991; work began on 18 April 1993, when Archbishop Ante Jurić blessed the foundation stone, into which an artillery shell casing was set as a reminder of the Croatian War of Independence. The completed church and pastoral centre were blessed on 5 December 2009 by Archbishop Marin Barišić.

The church serves as a gathering place for the Catholic community in Metković, where people come for worship and local celebrations. It holds significance for residents who gather here for important religious moments throughout the year.

The church stands on the right bank of the Neretva, within the two-storey pastoral centre "Otac Ante Gabrić"; the church space is on the upper floor, reached from the entrance façade with its three arcades and three doors. The 42 m bell tower and the two side towers to the south and north help with orientation. The ground floor holds the day chapel, so the main church may be closed outside services.

The foundation stone laid on 18 April 1993 was accompanied by an artillery shell casing holding a charter on parchment, a nod to the Croatian War of Independence during which construction began. The church was blessed on 5 December 2009 by Archbishop Marin Barišić.
