Saint James

Event Host Building

Saint James

The church of Saint James was one of the stages on the pilgrimage between Flanders and northern Europe and Saint James of Compostella.

Its vast fore-part may well have been designed to shelter the pilgrims at night. The tower and the nave date from the 13th century and the choir a century later.

Inside, the renovated murals depict a concert of angels (1405), an exceptional eagle lectern in copper (1411) and a polychrome wooden statue of Our Lady seated.
