    St. Nicholas Parish Church. The current church is the fourth to stand here; the previous ones all burned down. The current church dates from 1896 and is in the neo-Gothic style. The church steeple is 86 meters high. It is a three-aisled basilica, with a nave 68 meters long, and the nave and side aisles form a cross. The organ has 1,700 pipes.

    Hiking

    With its 86-meter-high church tower—the tallest in the Diocese of Passau—the neo-Gothic church, the Parish Church of St. Nicholas in Zwiesel, is the dominant landmark of this bustling town.
    The three-aisled, red-brick building was built between 1892 and 1896 according to plans by the Munich architect Johann Baptist Schott (1853–1913), and the church was soon dubbed the "Cathedral of the Bavarian Forest." During the extensive renovation from 1983 to 1987, the interior received a new color scheme, enhancing the spatial impression and bringing the architectural and artistic quality of the church to its fullest.
