Closely integrated with the Rathaus is the Nikolaikirche the oldest church in Stralsund. It was erected between 1270 and 1360 following the example of the Marienkirche in Lübeck. Following a fire in 1662, the 104-m (310-foot) south tower received a Baroque roof, while that of the north tower remained flat. The brick Gothic church has no transept and the side aisles are low, in contrast to the high nave. Some of the original colorful wall paintings survived.
The church has a wealth of art treasures – of particular note are the St Anne figure dating from before 1280, the crucifix of the high altar dating back to 1360, and an astronomical clock. Opening hours are Sunday, year-round from 11:15 am to noon, and 2 to 4 pm. From Monday to Saturday, it is open from April to September, 10 am to 5 pm, and from October to March, 10 am to noon and 2 to 4 pm.
