Jacobikerk, Gothic church in Utrecht, Netherlands

The Jacobikerk features a 63-meter tower clad in natural stone and includes three aisles constructed primarily with red brick materials.

Construction of the Jacobikerk commenced in 1290, followed by substantial modifications during the fifteenth century, including completion of the choir and southern aisle by 1487.

The church stands as the primary starting location for Dutch pilgrims beginning their journey on the Way of St. James toward Santiago de Compostela.

Located at Jacobskerkhof 22 in Utrecht, the Jacobikerk maintains regular opening hours and hosts weekly Protestant services along with cultural events.

The red-brown sandstone sundial positioned above the entrance portal holds the distinction of being the oldest dated sundial in the Netherlands.
