Germany - Immenstadt, St. Nikolaus kirche

by Jaap van 't Veen
The St. Nikolaus (St. Nicholas) is the parish church of Immenstadt im Allgäu. The current chucrh was built from 1704 to 1707.

In 1275, the earliest records mention the parish of Immendorf. In 1360, Heinrich Count of Montfort elevated Immendorf to the status of a town (and the town was renamed Immenstadt). The medieval parish church was rebuilt after fires in 1484 and 1530. In 1704, the church was once again set on fire. In the years that followed, it was rebuilt with a simultaneous extension and crowning of the newly designed tower with an onion dome instead of the previous gabled roof. The church was reconsecrated on 18 September 1707. During a further extension of the church in 1907/08 - a neo-baroque sacral architecture was created.
