The Saint Nicholas Church is the church in the center of the city Enghien (Enghien) in the Belgian province Hainaut. Since 22 August 1947 it is a protected monument[1].
In the course of history, the church has been destroyed, looted or struck by fire several times, and has been restored several times. In 1347, the church's first high altar was dedicated. At the beginning of the 15th century the church burned down, and even after the reconstruction there were several fires.
In the tower is a carillon with 51 bells, the oldest of which dates back to 1566.
The stained glass windows depict, among other things, the "Sacrament of Miracles" (Brussels Jews pierce a host, which begins to bleed).
