Nikolaikirche

Siegen has so many gorgeous churches but Nikolaikirche is the best-known one. Its golden Krönchen "coronet" which is on the church tower, is considered to be the city's landmark! Siegen's skyline is basically crowned with Nikolaikirche. The city is often called "Krönchenstadt" because it is named after this crown. This 13th-century church stands on the Siegberg, the settlement center of the medieval old town. As the tallest building of the Siegberg, the church tower with its 53 meters in height and its striking red and white paint, is the most well-known silhouette of the city.
