St. Jacob's Church, Kastelaz, Romanesque church on Kastelaz hill in Tramin an der Weinstraße, Italy.

The church stands on a hill with a rectangular nave, apse, Gothic southern aisle from 1440, and a northern sacristy added in 1500.

Before the construction of the church in the 13th century, the location housed an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Isis.

The interior walls display some of the earliest frescos in German-speaking regions, featuring apostles, Christ in Majesty, and mythological creatures.

The church welcomes visitors daily from March to November between 10 AM and 6 PM, with an entrance fee of 2 euros.

The socle frescos showcase extraordinary hybrid creatures combining human and animal forms, including fish-warriors and bird-people.
