St. James's Church, Gothic parish church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
The two towers of St. James's Church rise above the town, with the north tower reaching 57.7 meters and the south tower extending 55.2 meters.
The construction of this Lutheran church extended from 1311 to 1484, receiving consecration by the Bishop of Würzburg in 1485 after completing its west choir.
The Holy Blood altarpiece by Tilman Riemenschneider contains a rock crystal reliquary cross from 1270 and depicts scenes including the Last Supper.
The church welcomes visitors from 9 am to 5 pm between April and October, with reduced hours during winter months and special schedules in December.
The modern Rieger organ inside the church features 69 stops, approximately 5,500 pipes, and two consoles for different performance configurations.
