Two-storey brick building served as the sexton’s house and as the schoolhouse for St Nicholas’ Latin School.
Around the middle of the fourteenth century a long, narrow two-storey brick building was built to the south-east of St Nicholas’ Church as part of the churchyard perimeter. It served as the sexton’s house and as the schoolhouse for St Nicholas’ Latin School. It is the most important surviving example anywhere in the Baltic region of this type of school building, where merchants’ sons learned the basic skills they needed for their trade. The valuable medieval structures were painstakingly restored during the restoration of 1994–95. The beautiful northern gable with its slender column is especially worth a look.
