Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful brick church in the center of Kiel's old town, right on the market. This Protestant church can also be visited outside of services.
St. Nikolai was built in 1242, rebuilt several times, and badly damaged in the war. The church tower is a bit "massive". Since St. Nikolai is right in the old town, with several restaurants in the immediate vicinity, you should definitely visit this church.

I love the quiet atmosphere of this church. But from the information we were provided the roof was not reconstructed the same way on the inside after the war which diminishes the overall appeal. But still a pleasant experience with a fantastic place in the city.

Former monastery from 1200s has a prominent on a square in Old Town. Its steeple Is visible from a long distance to guide you to downtown area. And Kiel's downtown is a pleasant surprise of cobbled streets, cafés, new and old together.

Beautiful cathedral located centrally in the Altstadt (old town). One of the must places to visit in Kiel.

This church with the statue of St. Nikolai and green trees around it seemsn to be something magical. Situated in the city center close to the shopping streets is a great place to visit.

We visited St. Nikolai. It was a nice church with a simple architecture. It has some nice stained windows that were very modern. There was a large dark cross in the church that offset the white walls very nicely so it stood out.
Overall this is a nice church but without the innate adornments one finds in other grander churches. In a way, that is what makes this church quite nice and worth a visit.

Old church within walking distance of cruise terminal. Rest of the town not quite as picturesque as many German towns. Steeple is a good reference point for the town tour- two hours is plenty.

And suddenly we noticed we had spent hours in here. Many different styles and stories make for a rich history, but you have to be wiling to be sucked into it (it is not the Kölner Dom). Ernst Barlach made the famous statue on the outside (the spirit fighter). So much of Kiel has been destroyed in the war, that anything old is worth discovering. The contrast between old and new makes the story so much richer.
