Church of St. Nicholas, Quedlinburg

St. Mikołaj - parish church of the New Town in Quedlinburg. Its two 72 meters high towers are still the dominant of the panorama of the city seen from the castle hill. An example of gothic architecture in central Saxony.

A Nowe Miasto settlement was established in the 12th century, located northeast of the Old Town - a former settlement located around the church of St. Benedict needed her own parish. Consequently, in 1222 the construction of the New Town parish began. The original Romanesque basilica was gradually rebuilt in the Gothic spirit, first the western part - a nave body built in the form of a three -nave hall. Then in the fourteenth century a new Gothic presbytery and a monumental Western facade with two multi -storey towers were built. In the 18th century, the church was thoroughly balanced, in 1712 the church received a monumental two -storey main altar and in 1731 the pulpit. In addition, a wooden emporae was erected on the west side, where new organs were erected in 1849. At the beginning of the 20th century there is a thorough renovation of the church. In the 90s of the last century, the windows of the church received stained glass windows made by Ferdinand Mūller.
