St. Nicholas Church in Viru-Nigula is an evangelical church in Viru-Nigula. The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers.
Viru-Nigula Church is the oldest stone church in Virumaa. The current church was completed in 1755 and stands on the site of a church built in the second half of the 13th century that was destroyed in 1658 during the Russo-Swedish War. The congregation bought the land for the new parish with money collected through a collection, which meant the church had no patron - a unique case in Northern Estonia.
