Church of St. Nicholas Within, Medieval church building in central Dublin, Ireland.

The Church of St. Nicholas Within stands at the intersection of Nicholas Street and Christchurch Place, featuring stone walls and architectural elements from different periods.

Bishop Donat established this religious structure in the 11th century, dedicating it to St. Nicholas of Myra, followed by a substantial reconstruction in 1707.

The parish divided into two sections: St. Nicholas Within the walls and St. Nicholas Without, reflecting the medieval organization of Dublin's religious territories.

The remnants of the church walls remain visible next to Peace Park, which reopened in 2019 after extensive refurbishment works.

The cemetery contained the remains of Nathaniel Catelyn, Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, until parts were repurposed for the construction of Tholsel.
