Church of St. James, Gothic church building in Brno, Czech Republic
The 94-meter-tall Church of St. James presents three naves and features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses in the Gothic architectural style.
Construction of the church started in 1456 under architect Anton Pilgram, with the tower completion occurring in 1592 following a major fire in 1515.
The church houses numerous tombstones of local citizens, including Jean-Louis Raduit de Souches, who defended Brno during the Swedish siege in 1645.
Located at Jakubské náměstí, the church offers guided tours of its recently discovered underground ossuary containing remains of approximately 50,000 individuals.
The church tower displays a small statue of a man showing his buttocks toward the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, representing historical rivalry between churches.
