The Skt. Nicolai Church is Vejle's oldest building. The red brick building, which is consecrated to St. Nicholas, is late Gothic today. The oldest part of the church dates from around 1250 and can still be seen on the north wall.

The Skt. Nicolai Church is on the Kirketorvet in the center of Vejle. It is named after Nikolaus von Myra, the patron saint of children and seafarers.

Originally the church had a late Romanesque nave, which was later extended to a three-aisled hall with cross arms. On the outside you can see a walled up door and remains of Gothic windows. The choir and tower date from the 19th century. On the north wall, 23 skulls can be seen which, according to legend, came from executed robbers who were caught in the Nørreskoven forest 300 years ago.
