The Catholic parish church St. Nikolaus is at Winzersteig 3 in the Niederwinzer district of Regensburg .

The former choir tower church is a central hall building from the 13th century with an east tower, west transept and recessed choir and nave. In 1905 there was a reorientation to the west with a choir and transept. The interior of the originally Romanesque church was later redesigned in Baroque style . In 1937 Heinrich Hauberrisser's dilapidated tower had to be replaced by a new building. The cemetery wall with reliefs and gravestones dates from the 15th to 17th centuries.
