You feel like Charles Dickens wandering through the Dark Ages of Ghent !

A 13th century Scheldt-Gothic church. Architectural style Scheldt-Gothic actually originated from the Scheldt river and shows specific features such as a long tower and the use of blue-green stone blocks collected from the river. It’s been demolished and renovated over the years. The church is known to be one of the most common spots for merchants and marketers in the history. Completely free to visit and I would definitely recommend.

Great architecture and positioning, nice small garden behind and many places to sit and have a beer in front.

Saint Nicholas Church is yet another beautiful work of art in Ghent. The entry is free and the church is open until 4pm. Please note that the tower is not above the entrance, it is said that the tower used to serve as some sort of a natural lantern when light shines through the tower.

This is not a review of the church, it is a review of the "Inside Dali" experience. Please, do not waste your hard earned euros (€12.5). The whole experience consists of: - A wall of narrative as you enter - Giant slideshow within the church ruined by light leaks - A mirror room

Bonus points: very quiet, had some beautiful glass windows, the ceiling and the opportunity to buy and light candles (big and small ones) But my experience was bad when a very aggressive lady from the church came to me when I was lighting candles. I didn't saw the sign of how you light a candle (it pretty simple right?). But you have to use an other candle. Okay my bad and sorry, but the way of pointing and speaking loudly in a church was awful and disrespectful. Certain to other people who were praying at the moment. Lady of the church: I pray that your frustrations will be gone, good?

Stunning cathedral, one of the main attractions of Ghent. Both exterior and interior is so stunning, was really surprised that Ghent would have such a cathedral, the alter is a true work of art. There are some renovations taking place currently, so parts of the cathedral are closed but can see it through glass.

Incredibly beautiful cathedral! Very beautiful frescoes and interior decoration. The entrance is free.

Ich war zu tiefst beeindruckt von diesem imposanten gotischen Bauwerk, dessen dunkle Mauern, sowie seine skurrile symmetrische Erscheinung unbestritten eine gewisse Präsenz der Düsternis ausstrahlt. Im Inneren strotzt diese Kirche nur so von Kraft, symbolisiert durch die schweren Säulen, die das mächtige gotische Gewölbe tragen.

Fascinating exterior. We didn't make it inside, but we loved the area around and thought it was beautiful

Beautiful church! They have vesper every last Wednesday of the month, at 7pm. For those who want to find peace and worship God, it's worth to come and join

(Translated by Google) Beautiful quiet historical space within a busy corn market (Original) Mooie stille historische ruimte binnenin een drukke korenmarkt

A charming church made even more charming because of a performance there when I visited.

St. Nicholas' Church is one of the oldest and most prominent landmarks in Ghent. Begun in the early 13th century as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church, construction continued through the rest of the century in the local Scheldt Gothic style (named after the nearby river). Really interesting and one side of historical is the use of blue-gray stone from the Tournai area, the single large tower above the crossing, and the slender turrets at the building's corners. Built in the old trade center of Ghent next to the bustling Korenmarkt (Wheat Market), St. Nicholas' Church was popular with the guilds whose members carried out their business nearby. The guilds had their own chapels which were added to the sides of the church in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Beautiful church. Only a small portion is allowed for visitors but still worth a quick isit. We can see all of the interior beauty of church in maximum of 20 mins

One of the biggest and most majestic churches ever seen. It's really impressive and it's a must-to-see.

The architecture is really beautiful. I couldn't get a chance to get inside ,however, the surrounding area is amazing to roam around.

(Translated by Google) Super nice church, very impressive. Fits perfectly with this beautiful city (Original) Super mooie kerk, zeer indrukwekkend. Past helemaal bij deze mooie stad

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church with parts from different time periods. (Original) Mooie kerk met delen uit verschillende tijdsperiodes.

The digital Dali is a joke (scam). 10 meters of roll up banners and a projection screen so bright that you can barely see anything. We were literally in and out in 5 minutes.

This church is awesome.entrance is free. Its baroque architectural style and the statues inside are breath taking. You shouldn’t miss visiting it when you are in Gent. By the way, the back side of the church is also great for views and photography. Strongly recommended especially in sunny days. Take a break in its yard and enjoy the beautiful scenery

Very beautiful church, quite big and nice architecture inside. A must visit when in Ghent. The outside look is also very good and beautiful.

Beautiful church. Amazing history. Definitely go if you're in Ghent.

The church showing a light show with industrial robots about the paintings from Van der Eyck. It is shown 360 degrees with moving art and a telling of the history of the paintings. It is a 20 minute show.

The Dali show is terrible. Complete ripoff. Not informational or interesting. Absolute waste. This felt like something that would be free in Paris, and you'd still walk out because it's a waste of time.

Breathtaking architecture 👌👏👍

St. Nicholas Church is one of the oldest and most remarkable and beautiful landmarks in Ghent, Belgium. The instruction was started in the early 13th century as a replacement for a Romanesque church. It took hundred years to be completed as it is now. It has a Scheldt Gothic style.

It's a beautiful church, nothing special to see really unless it's Sunday

The saints! Everywhere in Belgium. Can I take one of these guys home? 😁

Second stop in my Euro Trip. Nice looking church. I had a great view of it from my hostel. More reviews from my Euro Trip to come.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, great welcome, I recommend a little visit. (Original) Magnifique, accueil super ,je recommande une petite visite.

Thanks a lot to those caring about that and thanks God they are still caring.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church. Many sculptures carved from stone, incredible stained glass windows and magnificent arches are impressive. Be sure to visit! (Original) Очень красивая церковь. Много вырезанных из камня скульптур, невероятные витражи и величественные своды впечатояют. Обязательно посетите!

(Translated by Google) Powerful and magnificent building. How many churches in Europe have been built for centuries. From the 11th century, there were, according to legend, some chapels or churches, and at the beginning of the 12th the first building was reliably built, which was then upset, absorbing various architectural styles from Gothic to Baroque. The building impresses with its high arches and a combination of ascetic medieval walls and bright stained-glass windows with Baroque decorations, including an altar with huge marble figures. During services and Sunday Mass, visits to tourists are limited. (Original) Мощное и величественное здание. Как многие церкви в Европе строилось века. Начиная с 11 века на этом месте были, по преданию какие-то часовни или церкви, а в начале 12 было достоверно построено первое здание, которое потом расстраивалось, впитывая в себя разные архитектурные стили от готики до барокко. Здание производит впечатление высокими сводами и сочетанием аскетичных средневековых стен и ярких витражей с украшениями эпохи барокко, в том числе алтарем с огромными мраморными фигурами. Во время служб и воскресной мессы посещение для туристов ограничены.

A beautiful Gothic-style church in the center of Ghent - one of the three towers of Ghent.

Magnificent place to be. Really bad that the front side is entirely separated to host something as low as Dali

Great expo about Dali. Thrilling 360° experience if you like surealism. I definitely liked it a lot 👍

Not sure if it's worth the price; you're just sitting in a simple church looking at projections of art from Dali with vague music in the background. It's fun for a couple of minutes, but tends to bore quickly as it's rather repetitive. IMO not worth more than 10 bucks max.

A good place to visit! Impressive from the outside and lots to look at on the inside too. Entrance is confusing though, at the top of the church is entry to an unrelated exhibition, entry to the church is from the side that is on the road.

(Translated by Google) This church is seen from much of the city. It is Gothic in style and the truth is that it is very impressive. (Original) Esta iglesia se ve dese gran parte de la ciudad. Es de estilo gótico y la verdad es que es muy impresionante.

Impressive Church, worth the visit, pay attention to the stained glass behind the organ, and the wonderful organ. I had the chance to attend yesterday an organ concert for Bach, making the visit absolutely memorable.

Someone was playing a beautiful music just when I entered the place. Awesome!

One of the most beautiful city in Belgium. It is more beautiful during night.

View of Saint Nicholas' Church "Sint Niklaaskerk" and Ghent city skyline seen from the Belfort tower, Ghent Belgium Another one of those places that win whether you go inside or don't. Great inside but don't miss the outside architecture from up top of other buildings surrounding it, especially from top of Belfort tower. It's worth spending some time throughout the day for different lights and cloud conditions. Sheltered from the rain photos of Sint Niklaaskerk come out great under clouds

Beautiful architecture from outside, didnt got chance to see inside

It is a smaller church compared to Belfry and St. Bavo's Cathedral. The architecture is just fine. The statue of Peter holding the key cought me by surprise.

St. Nicholas is one of the oldest and most prominent landmarks in Ghent, Belgium. Begun in the early 13th century as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church, construction continued through the rest of the century in the local Scheldt Gothic style (named after the nearby river). Typical of this style is the use of blue-gray stone from the Tournai area, the single large tower above the crossing, and the slender turrets at the building's corners. The central tower, which was funded in part by the city, served as an observation post and carried the town bells until the neighboring belfry of Ghent was built.

Sint-Niklaaskerk is one of Ghent's oldest Catholic churches dedicated to St Nicholas of Myra. It was built in the 13th century. It was built in the Gothic style from blue suprascald stone. It has a 76-metre-high tower at the intersection of the naves. The church reflects the history and culture of Ghent. The church contains works of art and a historic organ from the 19th century.

Beautiful church of Ghent! Must visit

Really beautiful church. The architecture is so intricate and beautiful. Take a moment to step inside, stroll around, and admire the beauty.

I'm not giving it five stars due to renovation works taken place while visiting, still a must do visit

(Translated by Google) Ok (Original) Ok

(Translated by Google) The interior of the church is separated into two areas. The church itself is entered from the side. Its interior with precious stained glass windows, the pulpit and the painting of the main altar. The second part of the building is entered through the main door, but it is a light show. (Original) El interior de la iglesia esta separado en dos zonas. La iglesia en si se entra por el lateral. Su interior con vidrieras preciosas, el púlpito y el cuadro del altar mayor. La segunda parte del edificio se entra por la puerta principal, pero es un espectáculo de luces.

Love it

A Beautiful Church in the heart of the city of Ghent. Gives a Royal Mighty Look to the city, but sad that there is only few to worship God in this beautiful building. A must visit if you are visiting Ghent.

Nice place. Very old style reminds me of good olden days and the style of construction the warmth feeling. Little bit gothic but other then that very nice.

Beautiful church. We saw The adoration of the Lamb exhibit. Church is centrally located and is a beautiful building edith seeing while in Ghent.

Beautiful church, nice to wander around for a while if you're into that sort of thing. Free entry, I think you have to pay to go on the upper floors though. Worth a visit when you're in the city

Una maravilla, siempre me quedó fascinada mirándola. It's a masterpiece. It is just fascinating to me I don't know why. One of the worlds wonders in my opinion.

The church is gorgeous 😍 So peaceful inside 😇

(Translated by Google) Another of the beautiful churches that are worth your visit. In the middle of the center where there are many options for refreshments or sitting.

Amazing view from top floor of tower to the city.

An important and beautiful heritage site. Historical architecture creates beautiful sites for photography and artistic appreciation. The chimes take you back momentarily. Easy to access via trams.

Gent loves it's churches. They build lots of them, and this is one of the loveliest of them all.

This church is one of the oldest and most prominent landmarks in Ghent which is located at the Korenmarkt (wheat market).Very nice church. My favorite in whole town. It has very impressive exterior. Made in gothic style with very nice cupola.During weekends especially on saturday it will be crowded with tourists.If you want to reach this church from Central station Gent sint pieters then take Tram 1 just opposite to Sint pieters station and get down at korenmarkt stop,it may take 15-20mins approx to reach korenmarkt

Sint-Niklaaskerk (Saint Nicholas Church) is a landmark in the Historic City Centre. It is located amongst many important attractions, making it convenient to visit when in Ghent. Opening hours are 10-5pm (Wed-Sun) and 2-5pm (Mondays). Here you find a beautiful building Scheldt Gothic in style, dating back to the 13th century. The church is constructed from stone from the Tournai area, giving it a blue-grey tinge. I really like the slender turrets, a really nice dimension that adds something of a fairytale quality to the church exterior. The interior is rather simple but has some nice things to see including the historic and important organ made by Aristide Cavaille-Coll of France. I also like the Baroque altar, which is beautiful to view from front and back. There are nice wall frescos and stained glass windows to see as well. Given the convenient location, it is easy to include a stop at Sint-Niklaaskerk for 15-20 minutes while sightseeing in the Historic City Centre of Ghent. The church is free to enter and visit but do consider giving a donation to help with the ongoing restorations of this important historic building.

A must visit place in Korenmarkt in Ghent.. very old cathedral built in 13th century.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful high light show around the most beautiful and famous paintings by Jan Van Eyck. Delightfully refreshing in the meantime in this part of the church. Entrance price is on the high side (11 €). (Original) Prachtige high light show rond de mooiste en beroemdste schilderijen van Jan Van Eyck. Heerlijk verfrissend intussen in dit gedeelte van de kerk. Inkom prijs is wel aan de hoge kant ( 11€).

(Translated by Google) The Church of St. Nicholas was built between the 13th and 15th century. It is the best example in Belgium of the Scaldian Gothic style. It was the merchant church and it was built in Tournai blue stone. Its bell tower was the town’s observation tower before the belfry was built. (Original) L’église Saint-Nicolas a été construite entre le 13e et 15e siècle. C’est le meilleur exemple en Belgique du style gothique scaldien. C’était l’église des marchands et elle a été bâtie en pierre bleue de Tournai. Son clocher était la tour d’observation de la ville avant que le beffroi soit construit.

This is a very beautiful church right in the center of the city. It is really nice to see from the outside. We did not have time to go inside but maybe next time we will try to. If you are near that area of town I would walk over to it just to take in the architecture of the church. It’s really nice to see it.
