The church of St. Nicholas was originally part of the Dominican monastery built in the 1230s. It was destroyed by Lübeck army in 1525. The church has a beautiful rose window in the gable. In a summer season the St. Nicholas church ruins are a venue for musical “Petrus de Dacia”, who was the priory of monastery between 1283-1289.

Hiking

A lot has happened in St. Nicolai since construction began in the 1220s as a hall church to the current concert hall. It is no longer open for tours after the ruins were rebuilt and made more weatherproof. Here we can only hope that those responsible will think again so that the ruins can be visited free of charge at certain times in the summer. The ruins are definitely worth a visit.
