The St. Jacobi Church in Münster was located south of St. Paulus Cathedral on Domplatz and served as a parish church for the lay people who lived on the cathedral immunity. The church was first mentioned in 1262. The building was badly damaged in the Anabaptist era and then rebuilt from 1535 onwards. During the French rule , the building was demolished in 1812 after temporarily demolishing the cathedral and preserving St. Jacobi. The bells from St. Jacobi received the St. Agatha Church in Angelmodde .
