The Nicolai Church dates back to 1275, but the current church was built in the years 1914-18. You can already see it from the ferry. With its large white appearance and placement, the church is one of the most distinctive buildings in the city.

St. Nicholas' Church, the largest church on the island of Bornholm, is located on a hill directly by the harbor of Rønne. With its dominant position in the cityscape, the church has become a landmark of Rønne. The first evidence of church construction on this site dates back to around 1275, when a small chapel was built here.

Over time, it was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded.

In 1550, a tower was built at the west end of the church, which was rebuilt in 1699.

The current church is the result of extensive reconstruction between 1915 and 1918. At that time, most of the church was demolished and replaced with a new building. A small section of the foundation of the first chapel has been preserved on the north wall of the church. The consecration cross, beneath which 63 old coins were immured, also dates from this period. Worth seeing are the large chandelier from Lübeck (1620) and the large ship model of the frigate Dannebrog from 1873 hanging from the ceiling.

The first thing you see on the Danish island of Bornholm when you enter the port of Rønne by ferry is St. Nicholas Church. You can see the white-painted building with its pointed tower from far away. It was first mentioned over 700 years ago 👍
