St. Nicholas Church is one of the most popular churches in Leipzig.

The construction of the church began around 1165 and initially adopted a Romanesque and Gothic architectural style. The interior is beautifully decorated, especially with palm-like columns and colored benches. Leipzig is also known as the City of St. Nicholas, named after the patron saint of merchants and traders. The city developed around the intersection of two important trade routes in history, forming its central area. Address St. Nicholas Church, Nikolaikirchhof 3, 04109 Leipzig, Germany
