Église Saint-Jacques, Historical church in Le Tréport, France

Église Saint-Jacques stands on the hillside above Le Tréport, its walls of dark sandstone and flint laid in checkerboard patterns. The body of the church has steep dark slate roofs and pointed-arch windows, and a 16th-century tower rises south of the portal, its unfinished top carrying statues of a bishop and Saint John the Evangelist. Inside, the nave measures 44 metres long, 19.6 metres wide and about 15 metres high.

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 16th-century tower south of the portal was never finished; its flat top carries statues of a bishop and Saint John the Evangelist instead of a spire. From the harbour, these figures mark the tower above the town.
