Église Saint-Jacques, Protected church in Nampteuil-sous-Muret, France.

The Église Saint-Jacques is a protected church in a small French village built with stone walls and arched ceilings throughout. A bell tower rises from the building and can be seen from the surrounding countryside.

The church was built in the 12th century and consolidated in the 16th century. It was inscribed as a monument historique in 1927. In 1997 it received a grant of 150,000 francs from the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l'Art Français for restoring the roof covering, except that of the apse.

The church is dedicated to Saint James, Jacques in French, the apostle venerated at Compostela; the village name Nampteuil-sous-Muret places it in the Aisne department. In 1997 the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l'Art Français funded restoration of the roof covering, except over the apse.

The location sits in a rural area, so visitors should expect quiet conditions. It is wise to check opening times before visiting, as access is not always guaranteed.
