St. Nicolaikirche

Brilon Germany

Evangelical Lutheran

The Baroque church was built from 1772 - 1782, replacing a chapel from the 1200s. The church was adjacent to a Franciscan monastery. It was used by both parish and monastery. Though not belonging to the monastery, the monastery, Latin school and church were all ordered closed in 1803. The Latin school was converted to a gymnasium. The city council governed the building from 1861 until 1968 when the church was given to the parish. The church was completely restored in the late 1970s.
