St. Nicholas Church in Tallinn, Estonia, is a medieval church that was originally founded in the 13th century by German merchants. Dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, the church has played a significant role in the city's maritime history. Over the centuries, it has undergone various modifications and restorations, especially after suffering damage during World War II. Today, St. Nicholas Church functions as both a museum and a concert hall, housing an impressive collection of ecclesiastical art, including the famous Danse Macabre painting by Bernt Notke.
