The Schottenkirche (pronounced [ˈʃɔtn̩ˌkɪʁçə], 'Scots' Church'; also St. Nicolai und Jacobi 'St Nicholas' and James') in the historical part of the city of Erfurt in Thuringia, Germany, is a Roman Catholic church building dating back to the 12th century. The Romanesque basilica belonged to a former Celtic monastery of St James. Today, it is a subsidiary church of the Catholic parish of St Lawrence's Church.[1]
