St. Jakobi, Coesfeld

The church features a broad flat-roofed nave with narrow side aisles, two transepts, and a tower built separately from the main structure in campanile style.

The original St. Jakobi church, separated from Lambertikirche in the late 12th century, was completely destroyed during the bombing of Coesfeld on March 21, 1945.

The Paradies corridor functions as a lapidarium, displaying sculptures and Romanesque capitals recovered from the original destroyed building.

The church contains a modern organ system installed in 2014, combining a main organ and choir organ with 46 sounding registers made by Westfälischer Orgelbau S. Sauer.

The bell tower houses three bells named Maria, Anna Katharina Emmerick, and Engel, cast in 1959 by Petit & Edelbrock.
