Saint Nicholas' Church (Sint-Niklaaskerk) is a Roman Catholic church in Ghent, Belgium, begun in the early 13th century in the Scheldt Gothic style as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church. It stands in the old trade centre beside the Korenmarkt and is built of blue-gray Tournai stone, topped by a single large tower above the crossing. Guilds, whose members worked nearby, favoured the church and added their own chapels to its sides in the 14th and 15th centuries.
