Nikolaikirche
The Nikolaikirche on Nikolaigasse in Villach's old town is one of the oldest churches in Carinthia, with Romanesque origins in the 13th century. Later Gothic modifications reshaped the interior, but the structure's age is visible in the massive walls and the compressed proportions of the nave.
