St. Nicholas' Church in Stralsund, Germany, was the oldest of the city's three major parish churches and one of the earliest examples of French cathedral design translated into Baltic Brick Gothic. Founded in 1201 and dedicated in 1279 to Saint Nicholas of Myra, patron saint of sailors, the church reflected the maritime character of this Hanseatic port city. Built of brick, it was converted to Evangelical Lutheran use in 1524. Though the structure was demolished in 1944, its architectural significance endured: as part of Stralsund's historic centre, it was recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2002.
