The Nicolai Church dates back to 1275, but the current church was built in the years 1914-18. You can already see it from the ferry. With its large white appearance and placement, the church is one of the most distinctive buildings in the city.

When entering the port of Rønne by ferry, the white lighthouse can be seen from afar. He stands elevated above the harbor basin. The tower has an octagonal plan, is made of iron and is a duplicate of the lighthouse in the port of Ystad in southern Sweden. The lighthouse was active until 1989 and served as a directional fire at the harbor entrance. It was in operation since 1880. The fire height was 24 meters, the tower itself is 12 meters high.

Hiking

St. Nicholas' Church, the largest church on the island of Bornholm, is located on a hill directly by the harbor of Rønne. With its dominant position in the cityscape, the church has become a landmark of Rønne. The first evidence of church construction on this site dates back to around 1275, when a small chapel was built here.

Over time, it was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded.

In 1550, a tower was built at the west end of the church, which was rebuilt in 1699.
