    The approx. 800 year old Church of St. Nicolai is located in the city center of Simrishamn. The first written mention of the church comes from 1161, when it was probably just a small fishermen's chapel consisting of the present choir. The nave was completed in the 13th century and the vaults were completed in the 15th. At the end of the Middle Ages, the armory and tower were built. The exterior of the church was changed in 1953 when the plaster was removed to reveal the original quartzite facade that gives the church its exterior character today.

        The church has a characteristic stepped gable. It is thanks to the famous Swedish sculptor Carl Milles that the church is no longer plastered. He bequeathed two sculptures to the city on condition that the church be restored to its original, unplastered condition. In front of the church now stand the sculptures “Systrarna” (two sisters reunited after death) and an angel with a trumpet.
