St. Nicholas Church

St. Nicholas Church

St. Nicholas church has one of the most interesting facades in Tallinn and is a must-see site for visitors to the city. From my perspective, it almost look haunted (check my picture) on the day I was there. Dedicated to the patron saint of sailors, the church now houses a museum of rare medieval art, including some of the best in all of Estonia. Concerts are also held here throughout the year. St. Nicholas has undergone a number of renovations throughout its 700 year lifespan. You will notice a variety of architectural styles reflected. The most recent renovation was post-WW II when the church suffered during bombing raids. The church museum is open daily and participates in the Tallinn Card discount program, as well as offering student discounts.
