Jacobuskerk, Enschede, Catholic church in Enschede, Netherlands.

The Sint-Jacobuskerk stands with two main domes and features hand-formed terracotta bricks, copper-clad domes, and a bell tower from 1958.

The current Sint-Jacobuskerk, built in 1931, replaced previous churches from 1841 and 1863, including one destroyed by the city fire of 1862.

The church interior contains a melon vault supported by six columns of brick and tuff stone, along with a 1933 Pietà sculpture by Mari Andriessen.

The church location at Jacobusstraat 14 provides access to religious services and remains an active center for Catholic worship in Enschede.

The building follows a central plan design that enables worshippers to view the altar from three different sides, reflecting 1930s liturgical reforms.
