St.-Jakobus-Kirche, Gothic monastery church in Germersheim, Germany.

The St.-Jakobus-Kirche features a 50-meter-high tower with a gallery beneath the clock bell openings and a central nave displaying Gothic architectural elements.

Originally built as a chapel for a fortification in 1280, the church transformed into a Servite monastery between 1286 and 1291, marking its religious establishment.

The interior contains 40 benches in two rows, wall paintings by Matthäus Schiestl in the choir area, and a relic cross of St. James the Greater.

The church opens Monday and Tuesday from 8 AM to 12 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 11:30 AM, with services held by Pfarramt St. Jakobus.

A crypt discovered during 1977 renovations contains memorial plaques where monk burial chambers were relocated under the floor.
