One of the most famous historical sights of not just Vejle, but the entire Danish kingdom is the Lutheran church, sanctified in honor of the holy patron of sailors and merchants St. Nicholai. 

It is not only a beautiful construction but also the oldest in the country - the church was built in the 13th century. But if we just look at the church like the visitors dreaming to get an aesthetic impression, avoiding the significant historical component, we will see the harmony in the lines of this building: the church is just very beautiful, we can look at it for a long time and not even get tired of it.

The church was originally made in the Roman style, it was a high, solid building, rather simple, but impressive. It was not decorated a lot and had a severe, restrained style. 

But the reconstruction of the 15th century changed the original plan of the architects, and the look of the church got the Gothic features. The area of the main hall was also increased, two more transepts and a 27.2-meters tower were constructed.

Unfortunately, during the Thirty Years’ War in 1618-1648, the church was very damaged by the Wallenstein army, since that time it was restored several times. The architects were trying to preserve this piece of architectural art.

Now the church is made of red brick, the walls of the northern transept have 23 spherical deepening, their diameter is almost 15 centimeters. In front of the church is installed a sculpture of Anders Sørensen Wedel.

The entrance to the church is decorated with a triangular pediment, above it, there is a gilded crucifix. The main shade of the building is red, these are brickwork and small fired tiles on the roof.

Nowadays, the Church of St. Nicholai in Vejle is a popular city museum, attracting a huge number of tourists from around the world.
