The Nikolaikirche (Estonian Niguliste kirik) is one of the landmarks of the Estonian capital Tallinn.
The church was founded between 1230 and 1275 by merchants from Westphalia who had moved from Gotland to Tallinn. As Tallinn was not fortified at that time, they built a fortified church as the center of the settlement. Only in the 14th century, after completion of the city wall, the Nikolaikirche became a common parish church. It was consecrated to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of merchants, sailors and fishermen.

The Niguliste Church is a very interesting destination for those who want to experience history, art and architecture. The church, built in the 13th century, is one of Tallinn's most important medieval buildings and houses an impressive collection of artworks and liturgical objects.

The Niguliste Church has a long history and has undergone many changes over the centuries. Today it serves as a museum and is a popular stop for tourists interested in Tallinn's history and culture.

The interior of the church is full of artwork and architectural details, including an impressive Gothic ceiling, a collection of medieval wall paintings and a valuable collection of Baroque art.
