Église Saint-Jacques de Douai, Catholic church in Douai, France.
This classical style church features regular columns on its facade and represents significant 19th-century architectural elements in its structure.
Construction of the current building started in 1706 and finished in 1856, replacing an earlier Gothic church located at present-day Place Carnot.
The church contains notable paintings, including 'The Vocation of Saint James' and 'The Martyrdom of Saint James' created by Alphonse Colas.
The building, registered as a historical monument since 1995, stands in central Douai and continues to hold regular religious services.
The tribune organ, installed in 1880 by Pierre Schyven, contains three keyboards and approximately 2700 pipes that create distinct sounds.
