Église Saint-Jacques de Bergerac, Gothic church in historic center of Bergerac, France

The Saint-Jacques church stands with three naves and features distinctive architectural elements including a bell tower and multiple entrance portals on its exterior.

Originally constructed as a chapel in 1088, the building was destroyed by English forces in 1345 and rebuilt in 1377 with subsequent modifications through the centuries.

The church maintains its position on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, continuing a centuries-old tradition of receiving travelers and pilgrims.

Visitors can attend Sunday mass at 6:30 PM and explore the church interior, which contains a Cavaillé-Coll organ from 1877 that received restoration in 2014.

The church received financial support from King Louis XIV for its 17th-century reconstruction, resulting in its current architectural configuration and appearance.
