Niguliste Museum and Church
Founded by German merchant/settlers sometime around 1230, the towering St. Nicholas' Church now functions as a museum specialising in works of religious art, most famously Bernt Notke's beautiful but spooky painting 'Danse Macabre' (Dance with Death). Exquisite altarpieces, baroque chandeliers and Medieval burial slabs are also on display. The museum offers guided tours as well as facilities for conferences, events and smaller receptions.
