About
St. Nicholas Church, known locally as Niguliste, stands at Niguliste 3 in Tallinn, Estonia. It is a 13th-century Gothic church that now serves as a museum and concert hall, so a visit can combine architecture, medieval art and music in one building.
What you will see
The church houses medieval ecclesiastical art, and among its works are pieces by Bernt Notke. Because the building itself dates back to the 1200s, the setting is as much a part of the experience as the collection. Its Gothic interior suits slow looking, and visitors who enjoy religious art will find the displays especially rewarding.
Why it suits a visit
- A medieval church whose later life as a museum and concert hall keeps it in active use
- Art from the period of the building's construction, including works by Bernt Notke
- A quiet indoor stop that works well in any season
The church is one of the places that give Tallinn's old town its character. Those already exploring the medieval streets can easily add it to their route, and those who arrive for a concert will find the building's acoustics and atmosphere a fitting setting.
