Church of St Nicolas, Rønne, surrounded by the square Kirkepladsen.
This old church from the late Middle Ages was built in the late 1200s.
It was radically rebuilt and enlarged in 1915–17: the nave was doubled in width, side sections off the nave were added and
the tower was torn down and replaced by a larger but identical-looking tower.
Noteworthy features of the church interior include the late Gothic baptismal font from the island of Gotland (now Sweden),
from the 1200s, and the “Paxian” pulpit, donated by one Michael Pax, originally of Rønne, who had settled in Northern Germany. Many original furnishings of the old church, including a painted ceiling from the mid 1700s, are on display at Bornholms Museum.
