No es una iglesia cualquiera, sino que encarna un homenaje a la vibrante vida urbana que la rodea. \n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n <div class=\"field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item\"><h2>Un S\u00EDmbolo urbano del Dinamismo </h2>\n</div>\n \n <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p><span lang=\"ES-ES\">La Iglesia de San Nicol\u00E1s fue la primera iglesia parroquial de los Pa\u00EDses Bajos erigida seg\u00FAn la arquitectura urbana emancipada, y cuenta la historia de Gante a trav\u00E9s de los siglos. Es un lugar donde la evoluci\u00F3n y el dinamismo confluyen con el creciente n\u00FAmero de habitantes y las nuevas tendencias arquitect\u00F3nicas. Conozca la historia de una iglesia que naci\u00F3 de las necesidades de un pr\u00F3spero enclave comercial y refleja el desarrollo urbano floreciente de la Gante medieval. </span><span> </span></p></div>\n \n </div>\n\n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n <div class=\"field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item\"><h2>Estilo g\u00F3tico escaldino </h2>\n</div>\n \n <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p><span lang=\"ES-ES\">La Iglesia de San Nicol\u00E1s, construida en el siglo XIII, fue el basti\u00F3n espiritual de los comerciantes y mercaderes. El cimborrio, que no se encuentra encima de la entrada sino del cruce entre la nave central y el transepto, es el elemento m\u00E1s llamativo y \u00FAnico de la iglesia. Funciona como una especie de \u201Clinterna\u201D natural, ya que permite que la luz natural penetre en el transepto a trav\u00E9s de la torre. El interior de la iglesia es un mosaico de obras de arte inspiradas en los diversos gremios cuyas capillas albergaba. D\u00E9jese guiar por algunas obras maestras que convierten esta iglesia en una verdadera joya.</span><span> </span></p><p><span lang=\"ES-ES\"></span></p><p><span lang=\"ES-ES\">En el altar mayor brilla la obra de Nicolaas Liemaker, un artista del siglo XVII alabado por el propio Rubens.

Desde la reapertura de la nave central reformada, el \u00F3rgano del coro alto, situado encima de la portada oeste, vuelve a ser visible.</span><span> </span></p><p><span lang=\"ES-ES\">La iglesia cuenta con vidrieras del artista Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, que narran la historia de Mar\u00EDa y la Crucificaci\u00F3n de Jes\u00FAs.

Uniek is de zogenaamde vieringtoren die niet boven de ingang, maar boven de kruising van hoofd- en zijbeuken staat. Hij fungeert als een soort natuurlijke lantaarn, omdat het licht via de toren de dwarsbeuk binnenvalt.</span> Het interieur is een lappendeken van kunstwerken, ge\u00EFnspireerd door diverse gilden die er hun kapellen hadden. Laat je leiden langs enkele meesterwerken die deze kerk tot een waar kunstjuweel maken.</p><p>Op het hoofdaltaar schittert het werk van Nicolas De Liemaecker, een 17de-eeuwse kunstenaar geprezen door Rubens. Het schilderij vertelt het verhaal van Sint-Nicolaas' aanstelling als bisschop, vol dynamiek en emotie.</p><p>Het romantische orgel van Cavaill\u00E9-Coll, ingehuldigd in 1856, ademt muzikale geschiedenis. Sinds de heropening van het gerestaureerde schip is het orgel op het doksaal boven het westportaal weer zichtbaar.</p><p>De kerk herbergt glasramen van Capronnier die het verhaal van Maria en de Kruisdood van Jezus vertellen. Moderne ramen van Herman Blondeel, die de zeven sacramenten weergeven, voegen hedendaagse pracht toe.</p></div>\n \n </div>\n\n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--photo-strip paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n\n \n\n <div class=\"baguettebox-wrapper baguettebox--count-3\">\n <ul class=\"baguettebox container-inline\" id=\"baguettebox-baguettebox--6\">\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-1\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"Cavaill\u00E9-Coll organ - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20Aristide%20CavailleColl%20orgel.jpg?itok=RyG89fgC\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20Aristide%20CavailleColl%20orgel.jpg?itok=WyNzdNwE\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Cavaill\u00E9-Coll organ\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-2\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"Stained-glass window depicting woman with child - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20O.L.%20Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Capronnier%20glasraam.jpg?itok=0DCm181l\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20O.L.%20Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Capronnier%20glasraam.jpg?itok=TvcyPSeJ\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Stained-glass window depicting woman with child\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-3\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"high altar with white columns and painting - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20hoofdaltaar.jpg?itok=yik2S6Xq\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20hoofdaltaar.jpg?itok=tuh-zM1g\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"high altar with white columns and painting\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n </ul>\n\n <div class=\"baguettebox--count\">\n <a href=\"#\" class=\"launch-gallery\">\n <i class=\"icon-photos\"></i>\n <span>\n 3 photos </span>\n </a>\n </div>\n</div>\n\n\n </div>\n\n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--brochure paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n <div class=\"field field--name-field-brochure field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item\">\n\n<article class=\"node node--type-brochure node--view-mode-default\">\n <div class=\"node--type-brochure-top\">\n <div class=\"node__content\">\n \n <h2 class=\"h3\"><span>Monumentale Kerken Gent</span></a></h2>\n \n \n <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p>Ghent's horizon is characterised by its many churches and their towers.

Hij fungeert als een soort natuurlijke lantaarn, omdat het licht via de toren de dwarsbeuk binnenvalt.</span> Het interieur is een lappendeken van kunstwerken, ge\u00EFnspireerd door diverse gilden die er hun kapellen hadden. Laat je leiden langs enkele meesterwerken die deze kerk tot een waar kunstjuweel maken.</p><p>Op het hoofdaltaar schittert het werk van Nicolas De Liemaecker, een 17de-eeuwse kunstenaar geprezen door Rubens. Het schilderij vertelt het verhaal van Sint-Nicolaas' aanstelling als bisschop, vol dynamiek en emotie.</p><p>Het romantische orgel van Cavaill\u00E9-Coll, ingehuldigd in 1856, ademt muzikale geschiedenis. Sinds de heropening van het gerestaureerde schip is het orgel op het doksaal boven het westportaal weer zichtbaar.</p><p>De kerk herbergt glasramen van Capronnier die het verhaal van Maria en de Kruisdood van Jezus vertellen. Moderne ramen van Herman Blondeel, die de zeven sacramenten weergeven, voegen hedendaagse pracht toe.</p></div>\n \n </div>\n\n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--photo-strip paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n\n \n\n <div class=\"baguettebox-wrapper baguettebox--count-3\">\n <ul class=\"baguettebox container-inline\" id=\"baguettebox-baguettebox\">\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-1\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"Cavaill\u00E9-Coll organ - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20Aristide%20CavailleColl%20orgel.jpg?itok=RyG89fgC\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20Aristide%20CavailleColl%20orgel.jpg?itok=WyNzdNwE\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Cavaill\u00E9-Coll organ\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-2\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"Stained-glass window depicting woman with child - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20O.L.%20Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Capronnier%20glasraam.jpg?itok=0DCm181l\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20O.L.%20Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Capronnier%20glasraam.jpg?itok=TvcyPSeJ\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Stained-glass window depicting woman with child\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-3\">\n <div class=\"field-content\">\n <a title=\"high altar with white columns and painting - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20hoofdaltaar.jpg?itok=yik2S6Xq\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Niklaaskerk%2C%20hoofdaltaar.jpg?itok=tuh-zM1g\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"high altar with white columns and painting\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n </div>\n </li>\n </ul>\n\n <div class=\"baguettebox--count\">\n <a href=\"#\" class=\"launch-gallery\">\n <i class=\"icon-photos\"></i>\n <span>\n 3 photos </span>\n </a>\n </div>\n</div>\n\n\n </div>\n\n <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--brochure paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n \n <div class=\"field field--name-field-brochure field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item\">\n\n<article class=\"node node--type-brochure node--view-mode-default\">\n <div class=\"node--type-brochure-top\">\n <div class=\"node__content\">\n \n <h2 class=\"h3\"><span>Monumentale Kerken Gent</span></a></h2>\n \n \n <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p>Ghent's horizon is characterised by its many churches and their towers.
