The Sint-Nicolaas Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in IJsselstein. This three-aisled hall church was built between 1885 and 1887 in neo-Gothic style after a design by Alfred Tepe. The colorful high altar (1893) was created by the sculptor Friedrich Wilhelm Mengelberg; the left side altar (1889); the Triumphal Cross (1889) and the Stations of the Cross (1888).

The church is a place of pilgrimage because of the statue of Our Lady of Eiteren Help in Need, which is located in the Maria Chapel.

On November 11, 1972, Pope Paul VI granted the church the title of Basilica Minor because of its significance as a place of pilgrimage.[1] Basilica minor is the highest honorary title for a church building outside the city of Rome.
