context_page_description: St. Nikolai, Greifswald, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers and merchants, is a Brick Gothic church located in the western part of the centre of Greifswald. It was the main church and seat of the bishop of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church.

Eight pairs of pillars support the vaults. The ceiling over the main altar is higher and behind the altar the room is closed off by a richly decorated choir wall. A wooden gallery is placed on the western wall. There are some remains of medieval frescos on the side walls of the church. The floor is largely covered with tombstones; the oldest of these date from the 14th century.
