Sankt Jakob, Parish church in Dachau, Germany.
The Sankt Jakob church features a 44-meter octagonal tower with an onion dome, rising above the Dachau old town landscape.
Construction of the current church building occurred between 1624 and 1625, replacing an earlier Gothic structure from which only the sacristy remains.
The main altar, installed in 1939, displays a painting by Joseph Hauber from 1816 depicting Saint James on his path to martyrdom.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and stands at 506 meters above sea level at the intersection of roads to Augsburg, Freising, and Munich.
An 18th-century sundial on the south wall of the church indicates not only time but also displays the current month and zodiac signs.
