St Nicholas Church, Romanesque church in Deventer, Netherlands

The St Nicholas Church stands with two distinct tower spires, featuring a Romanesque lower structure and Gothic upper sections added during later renovations.

Built between 1198 and 1209 near Deventer's harbor, the church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, reflecting the city's connection to maritime trade.

Following the Protestant transformation in 1580, the structure underwent changes as Catholic elements were removed and wall paintings received white chalk covering.

Located at Bergkerkplein in central Deventer, the former church now functions as an exhibition center and concert hall for various events.

A stone resembling a cannonball remains fixed in the west tower, marking an alleged attack by pirates from the river IJssel in the 17th century.
