St. Nicholas' Church, Brzeg

St. Nicholas' Church in Brzeg, Poland, is a Gothic basilica built in the fourteenth century.

[2] The church takes the form of a three-aisled basilica with an elongated nave including a division for choir and lateral aisles leading to the main altar.

The main nave is separated from the side by pillars and simple linear spans, with much interior space.

In 1524, the former Franciscan friar Jan of Opava gave his first sermon in the church in the reformist spirit; having gained ducal support, the teachings of Martin Luther were quick to find recognition among most of the people.
