St. Jakobus, Catholic church in Winterberg, Germany

The single-nave church of St. Jakobus features five bays, with the western bay extending two meters wider than the others.

The church's origins date back to the 13th century, with the current structure rebuilt in 1796 after three devastating city fires in 1556, 1759, and 1791.

The main altar honors St. James the Elder, patron saint of pilgrims, while the church contains Empire period oak pulpit and apostle figures.

The church maintains regular opening hours and celebrates its dedication day on July 25, welcoming both congregation members and visitors throughout the year.

Parts of the church walls incorporate stones from the demolished city fortifications of Winterberg, linking the structure to local urban development.
