The Jakobskirche

Stairs in the palace garden

The Jakobskirche is a Roman Catholic church in the Gothic style. It was mentioned as early as 1355 in the December register (tithe register) of the Nuntius Galhardus de Carceribus.

The church choir dates from around 1300 and is in the style of the time around the turn of the early Gothic to the high Gothic. The tower and the church hall to the north were added at the end of the 16th century. The once soaring roof of the church tower was struck by lightning and destroyed in the 19th century. During the reconstruction, however, only a low roof was put on.

The wooden baroque altar is a work from the end of the 17th century. The sacristy door contains fittings from the 16th century. Inside there is a knight's grave stone with a life-size figure of the buried person from the end of the 16th century.
