St. Nikolaus in Gfrill, Gothic church in Gfrill, South Tyrol, Italy

St. Nikolaus in Gfrill is a Gothic church featuring a single nave and polygonal choir. The interior is characterized by a pointed arch portal and cross-ribbed vaulting.

The present church shows three main building phases. Masonry analysis points to a simple Romanesque rectangle begun in the 13th century; the choir is Gothic. In the 16th century the nave and bell tower were raised by about a metre in late Gothic style, and in the 17th century the church was baroquised with a flat ceiling and enlarged windows. Gfrill became an Expositur in 1745, and the building was listed as a monument on 5 October 1981.

The church is dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra, and its patronal feast is celebrated on 6 December. On the southern outer wall, 14th-century frescoes include a Crucifixion group and a Mariahilf image. Inside, 15th-century wall paintings depict the Last Judgment.

The church sits along State Road 38 and connects the regions of Burggrafenamt and Nonsberg. It is easily reachable on foot and serves as a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area.

The church was elevated to an Expositur in 1745, and the right of presentation over the benefice belonged to the parish priest of Tisens. In the 19th century the parish counted 200 souls, and next to the church stood a widum and a school where one teacher at times taught 25 pupils. The widum was placed under heritage protection in 2024.
