St. Nikolai is an Evangelical Lutheran church named after the Greek Bishop Nicholas of Myra. The origins go back to the late Middle Ages. It was raised to the status of a parish church on October 2, 1403 by the then Bishop of Würzburg, Johann I. In the spring of 1899, the old St. Nikolai Church was demolished because it had become too small for the rapidly growing community. Only the sacrament niche from the 15th century, the wooden figures of the Mother of God (late 15th century) and Saint Nicholas (around 1500) and the Westernach epitaph have been retained. In less than two years, a new church was built in the neo-Romanesque style with a high altar and two galleries, offering space for 800 worshipers. It was consecrated on July 7, 1901.
