St. James' Church, Antwerp, Gothic church building in Antwerp, Belgium
The church features high stone vaults, pointed arches, and detailed stained glass windows reflecting traditional Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Construction of this religious building started in 1491 after replacing a chapel that served as a stop for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela.
The interior contains over 1300 burial sites of notable Antwerp citizens, including the grave of painter Peter Paul Rubens in the eastern chapel.
The church opens its doors daily for visitors to explore its architectural features, religious artifacts, and artistic elements from different historical periods.
This church houses wooden choir stalls and multiple chapels decorated with sculptures created by local artists during the 16th and 17th centuries.
