The Church of St. Nicolai in Kalkar is the principal sight of the town. Built in the 15th century, it is a plain, tall building from the outside. However, inside all manner of riches can be found. There are many carved altars and statues in the church which were made in the town and are now considered priceless. Among the most notable are Henrik Douverman’s ‘Altar of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin’ and ‘St. Mary Magdalene’, and Jan Joest’s ‘Passion Altar’ which depicts Kalkar Markt. St. Nicolai is now designated as a church museum.
