Saint Nicholas' Church

A 13th century Scheldt-Gothic church. Architectural style Scheldt-Gothic actually originated from the Scheldt river and shows specific features such as a long tower and the use of blue-green stone blocks collected from the river. It’s been demolished and renovated over the years. The church is known to be one of the most common spots for merchants and marketers in the history. Completely free to visit and I would definitely recommend.

The architecture is really beautiful. I couldn't get a chance to get inside ,however, the surrounding area is amazing to roam around.

This is not a review of the church, it is a review of the "Inside Dali" experience. Please, do not waste your hard earned euros (€12.5). The whole experience consists of: - A wall of narrative as you enter - Giant slideshow within the church ruined by light leaks - A mirror room

Fascinating exterior. We didn't make it inside, but we loved the area around and thought it was beautiful

Someone was playing a beautiful music just when I entered the place. Awesome!

A charming church made even more charming because of a performance there when I visited.

St. Nicholas' Church is one of the oldest and most prominent landmarks in Ghent. Begun in the early 13th century as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church, construction continued through the rest of the century in the local Scheldt Gothic style (named after the nearby river). Really interesting and one side of historical is the use of blue-gray stone from the Tournai area, the single large tower above the crossing, and the slender turrets at the building's corners. Built in the old trade center of Ghent next to the bustling Korenmarkt (Wheat Market), St. Nicholas' Church was popular with the guilds whose members carried out their business nearby. The guilds had their own chapels which were added to the sides of the church in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Beautiful church, nice to wander around for a while if you're into that sort of thing. Free entry, I think you have to pay to go on the upper floors though. Worth a visit when you're in the city
