Église Saint-Jacques, Historical church in Le Tréport, France
Église Saint-Jacques is a church building in Le Tréport with facades made of dark sandstone and flint arranged in checkerboard patterns. A 16th-century tower rises on the south side of the portal, forming a distinctive element of the structure.
The original church collapsed in 1360 after water redirection works undermined its stability, and was later destroyed by English forces. The current structure was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century as a replacement on the same site.
The church displays late Gothic features with hanging vault keystones from the 16th century. Visitors can see stained glass windows from Paris workshops and a chapel containing historic altar pieces.
A staircase with 73 steps connects the port to the church entrance. Visitors should note that opening hours vary by season and the building is accessed by climbing stairs from the port level.
The tower bears statues of a bishop and Saint John the Evangelist that are easily visible from the harbor. These carved figures serve as distinctive markers of the tower and reflect the site's importance.
