Church of St. James the Greater
Church of St. James the Greater, Gothic parish church in Jihlava, Czech Republic
The church features a three-nave structure with two towers at the front, reaching a height of 63 meters for the northern tower.
Bishop Bruno of Schaumburk consecrated the church on May 31, 1257, with only the presbytery completed during the initial construction phase.
The church contains medieval frescoes, Gothic architectural elements, and an extensive collection of Baroque gilded altars from the 18th century.
Visitors can climb the northern tower for city views, with access times varying according to seasonal schedules throughout the year.
The bell Zuzana, cast in 1563, became the second-largest bell in Moravia through contributions of gold jewelry from local residents.
