St.-Jakobs-Kirche, Protestant church in Basel, Switzerland
The St.-Jakobs-Kirche features stone walls, large windows, and a central tower that extends above the surrounding residential neighborhood in Basel.
The church structure dates back over 900 years, starting as a pilgrim chapel where travelers prayed to Saint James for protection.
Every Sunday, the congregation gathers for services that combine reformed Protestant traditions with organ music and community singing.
Weekly services include telephone access to recorded sermons, available from Sunday afternoon through the following week for those unable to attend.
The local community refers to the church as 'Joggeli,' maintaining a centuries-old nickname that reflects its connection to Saint James.
