Kostel sv. Mikuláše je překrásný barokní skvost, pro hudbu jako stvořený. Pouze sezení v lavicích nebo na židlích není pro nás důchodce již pohodlný.

Krasny kostel

Heong Chong | December 23, 2024 | 19:00 (Mon)

Lovely church, but too many people allowed in, and some were "reserving" two or more seats for people who never turned up. Please don't allow that!

James Nelson-Parker | December 23, 2024 | 16:30 (Mon)

Thank you for the heaters!

It was freezing cold since the heating was not working. We kindly asked to switch the gas heaters on, but the gentleman just told us the bottles are empty. We'll, he was busy to put as much chairs in the church as possible, so rather spending time for selling more tickets than looking after customers. I'm sorry that the venue wasn't as I hoped.

Zvlášť pozitivně oceňuji vytápění kostela, které vytvořilo teplotní pohodu pro vnímání varhanní hudby v kostelním prostředí. Bylo možné se soustředit na hudbu a detaily krásného kostela.

Mezi kostelními lavicemi byly umístěné řady židlí, které byly nižší než lavice, nebylo z nich tudíž moc vidět.

Acoustics were beautiful, but it was uncomfortable and we couldn't see the musicians. The heaters were also going full blast when we arrived but fortunately, they were turned off after our request. Church is beautiful.

Velmi mě potěšilo, že i v době drahých energií byl kostel vytápěn a nic nerušilo krásný vánoční prožitek. Jen by možná byly lepší místenky, protože se někteří lidé chovali sobecky a jedna osoba zabírala celou řadu.

Kostel sv. Mikuláše je na krásném a strategickém místě. Nabízí dostatek míst k sezení. Díky přistaveným ohřívačům bylo v kostele i "teplo". Sezení tak bylo opravdu příjemné.

Po stránce organizační bych doporučil používat židle, které rozšiřují kapacitu sezení, takové, aby nevrzaly a nerušily skvělý hudební zážitek.

Dina Castillo Boukhchtaber | February 29, 2020 | 17:00 (Sat)

No criticism on the church since it is very beautiful, but the heating was very poor and we froze in the church while listening to the concert (and we were wearing our winter jackets, but without moving your body rapidly loses heat and the set torches was just not enough for the place to stay warm)

Juste la bonne taille, pas trop grand grand avec une excellente acoustique. Par contre les bancs d'église n'étaient pas très confortable. Heureusement que le concert nu durait pas trop longtemps. Je devine que les chaises étaient plus adaptées ....

Lovely church which was full to capacity. Bit chilly and too cold to take off, coat, hat and gloves... Also, too many extra seats to sides of pew resulted in poor viewing ability and sound quality.

It's a 300 year old magnificently beautiful church. The most fantastic venue for a classical music event!

Ian Armstrong | May 19, 2018 | 20:00 (Sat)

It was wonderful to take in the beauty of St. Nicholas Church and enjoy the brilliant acoustics. As church pews aren't really made for comfort, I was certainly glad the concert was short.

Stephen Moran | April 22, 2018 | 17:00 (Sun)

Christopher Pullman | April 11, 2018 | 17:00 (Wed)

For the audience, being able to see the players is an added kind of enjoyment that this venue cannot provide. Additionally, the pews are very uncomfortable, especially for someone with long legs (like me). Foolishly, I passed up the normal chairs available in several rows.

Gayle Van Dyke | December 23, 2017 | 19:00 (Sat)

Beautiful baroque church, chairs are a bit hard but the thin cushions provided helped with comfort. Even though several heaters were placed around the room, they were not enough to take the chill off so dress warmly for a winter concert.

Beautiful church with outstanding acoustics. Smaller than expected, but not an issue. The bass from the music festival in the main square was very distracting. Not exactly the venue's fault, but keep in mind that it's central location may also lead to some unwanted background noise.
