The three-aisled Romanesque basilica, together with the Nikolaitor, dominates the image of Karlsplatz and leaves an incomparable impression at first sight. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, received its current external appearance at the end of the 19th century. Builders from the Wartburg must have worked here during the construction of the church. One of the high-quality capitals on a southern pillar indicates this.
