St. Jakobus Maior, Catholic church in Gersthofen, Germany
The St. Jakobus Maior church features a neo-Romanesque architectural design with a bell tower positioned on the south side of the main nave.
The church site reveals ancient Roman origins, as remnants of a Mercury temple from the 1st century were discovered during the 1854 renovation work.
The ceiling paintings, created by Professor Georg Bernhard in 1989, display biblical figures from both testaments connected to the story of St James.
The church serves as the central religious institution in Gersthofen, offering regular services and forming a parish community with Maria, Queen of Peace since 2006.
During renovations, archaeologists discovered a marble altar with inscriptions from a Romanized Celtic individual named Publius Aelius Senno from Emperor Hadrian's time.
