[MOC] St. Nicholas Church, Tallinn

[WickNole]

St. Nicholas Church (Estonian: Niguliste kirik, German: Nikolaikirche) is a medieval church building in Tallinn (Reval), Estonia. It was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron of the fishermen and sailors. Originally built in the 13th century, it was partially destroyed in the Soviet bombing of Tallinn in World War II. The building itself has since been restored; however, as a church without its own congregation, it has not been used for regular religious activities since World War II. At present it houses the Niguliste Museum, a branch of the Art Museum of Estonia, focusing mainly on ecclesiastical art from the Middle Ages onward. It is also used as a concert hall.

The model is built for a thematic exhibition in this very museum.

Scale - 1:125 (one meter = 1 pin).

There is no interior, but in the future there are plans to improve the model and add some interior spaces. The model is not an ideal copy, as there are some "creative allowances" caused by the strict deadline.

Nice :)

And as it is LEGO, you can rebuild, when time allows that.

Nicely done. It meshes with my memories of Tallinn.
