The Last Relic inside St Nicholas' Church

„Viimne reliikvia“ Niguliste kirikus

Grigori Kromanov's Viimne reliikvia (The Last Relic), the 1969 swashbuckler set during the Livonian War, used Tallinn's medieval St Nicholas' Church for its church scenes. The building was in the middle of restoration after war damage, so for the shoot the crew laid a temporary plank floor and covered it with rubber mats painted to look like limestone flagstones. Filming lasted nine months, from early spring to autumn 1969. The restored church is now a museum and concert hall known for Bernt Notke's Danse Macabre.

Grigori Kromanovi 1969. aasta seiklusfilm „Viimne reliikvia“, mille tegevus toimub Liivi sõja ajal, kasutas kirikustseenide jaoks Tallinna keskaegset Niguliste kirikut. Hoone restaureerimine oli pooleli, nii et võteteks ehitati sinna ajutine laudpõrand, mis kaeti paekiviplaate jäljendavate kummimattidega. Võtted kestsid üheksa kuud, 1969. aasta varakevadest sügiseni. Taastatud kirik on nüüd muuseum ja kontserdisaal, mida tuntakse Bernt Notke „Surmatantsu“ poolest.
