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.
