Sint-Jacobuskerk, Neo-Romanesque Catholic church in Kethel, Netherlands.

The Sint-Jacobuskerk features a high central nave with a gable roof, side aisles, and pseudo-transepts constructed from brick with brown glazed stone details.

The current church building, completed in 1890, replaced an original Catholic church from 1225 that stood in the center of Kethel until its demolition.

The interior contains three stained-glass windows depicting scenes from Saint James's life, including the resurrection of Jairus's daughter and the transfiguration on Mount Tabor.

The church received structural reinforcements in 1934 with concrete supports inside the high arches of the nave to strengthen the foundation.

The balcony houses an organ built by L. Ypma in 1880, which underwent modifications by Gebr. Gradussen in 1895.
