The Schinkelkirche St. Nicolai is a neoclassical Protestant church in Ilmenau, Thuringia, designed by the renowned Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Built as one of Schinkel's Normalkirchen—standardized church designs intended for efficient construction across German territories—it exemplifies the austere geometric principles and classical restraint characteristic of early 19th-century neoclassicism. The structure is recognized as a heritage monument in Thuringia, preserving an important example of Schinkel's influential approach to modern ecclesiastical architecture.
