St. Jakobus der Ältere, Romanesque parish church in Goslar, Germany.

The church features a three-aisled basilica structure with a double tower facade and Gothic elements added during later renovations.

Built around 1070 under Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim, the church underwent transformation from Catholic to Protestant in 1528 before returning to Catholic service in 1803.

The interior contains a copper baptismal font from 1592, decorated with local family coats of arms and a Renaissance pulpit from 1620.

The church office at Jakobikirchhof 1 in Goslar maintains regular hours for visitors and administrative matters throughout the week.

The bell tower houses a bronze bell from 1480 with historically significant engravings that document medieval craftsmanship techniques.
