Nakskov Church

[1] It was replaced by a brick church dedicated to Saint Nicholas which is first mentioned in 1398 although its oldest sections probably date from the early 13th century.

Before the Danish Reformation, the church had a series of chapels and altars, each connected with the craftsmen's guilds in the town.

Major extensions were added to both east and west, resulting in aisles on either side of the nave which virtually encapsulated the older construction.

The central painting of the Last Supper (which contains an image of Nakskov Church in the background) is topped by depictions of the Crucifixion and Christ's removal from the cross.

On that occasion, Paul-Gerhard Andersen took pains to restore the organ's Baroque housing by Søren Ibsen.
