The St. Nicholas Church in Brilon, dedicated to St. Nicholas, is a single-nave, baroque monastery church. It was built between 1772 and 1782 and is one of the latest Baroque and Rococo buildings in Westphalia.
With the founding of the city of Brilon by Archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne, the construction of the parish church also began. An indication of this is that it was already in use in 1248. The flourishing city developed far-reaching trade relations and became a member of the Hanseatic League. In this context, it is not surprising that a chapel was built in honour of the patron saint of merchants and sailors, St. Nicholas, as early as the 13th century. After a fire, the chapel was rebuilt on the same site in 1299. This chapel was located a little below the present church.
