Saint-Nicolas Church, Strasbourg

Saint Nicholas Church (Église Saint Nicolas) is a petite Gothic-style church located in Strasbourg. In 1538, Jean Calvin conducted services and delivered sermons at this church. From 1900 to 1913, Albert Schweitzer served as the church's pastor and was known to play the organ there.

Over time, the church ceased to function as a parish due to the decreasing population in the central area of Strasbourg. Instead, a Charismatic group called "Renouveau Saint Nicholas" started using the church. This group, led by pastors Daniel Hebert and Pastor Ringerbach, began holding their Sunday services there in 1975.

The construction of the church took place between 1387 and 1454, replacing a prior church dedicated to Mary Magdalene that had been established by Knight Walther Spender in 1182. The earlier church was situated on the grounds of a former small Roman fort. The tower, which features an elegant tapering spire, was added in 1585. In the 17th century, the interior underwent remodeling. The architect Émile Salomon, who was responsible for the Temple Neuf in Strasbourg, designed the façade and sacristy in 1905.

Within the interior, fragments of frescoes from the 15th century still remain. The organ from 1707, crafted by the Silbermann brothers, was disassembled in 1967.
