St. Nicholas Church

  Built in the late 13th century, St. Nicholas Church (Niguliste Kirik) is nestled in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town, along Niguliste Street. This medieval church is renowned for its beautiful Gothic architecture and once served as the main church for the city's merchant guilds. An interesting historical note is that it now operates as a museum, showcasing artistic treasures, including a collection of notable St. Nicholas altarpieces. Open year-round, visitors can explore the church and its unique exhibitions, particularly during the Christmas season when the church often hosts festive concerts. Inside, you’ll find intricately carved wooden sculptures, historic artifacts, and seasonal events that reflect the city’s rich cultural heritage.
