Nikolaikirche Wismar
Church in Wismar, Germany, dating from 1381
St. Nicholas of Wismar was built from 1381 until 1487 as a church for sailors and fishermen. St. Nicholas is one of the finest testaments to medieval brick architecture in northern Germany. Based on the design of Marienkirche (St. Mary's) in Lübeck, it is the second-highest brick basilica church in the world after St. Mary's of Lübeck. St. Nicholas along with St. Mary's and St. George's is one of the three great churches that dominate the skyline of the city of Wismar. As part of Wismar's historic center, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2002.
