    Tips

    July 6, 2025

    The building was first mentioned in the city register in 1276 and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. The church was probably originally a simple hall with a single tower. Due to Stralsund's rapid rise to become an important maritime trading city, it was converted into a basilica with an imposing twin tower complex in the 14th century. Built as a three-aisled basilica with an ambulatory, it has a total length of 87 meters. The mere choice of this elaborate cathedral building type in a region where hall churches were common testifies to the claim to power that the city council, as the client, wanted to express.
