Hauptkirche St. Nikolai

All five main churches of Hamburg were damaged in World War II. But in contrast to the other four, St. Nikolai has not been re-erected making it a memorial against war. It was designed by English architect George Gilbert Scott. The steeple is still standing and visitors can take an elevator to the top for a view of the city.

Price
The price to take the elevator is €5 for adults and €4 for groups of at least 10 people
