    With its mighty and widely visible 79-meter-high gray tower with its double-laced Baroque onion dome from 1778, the Roman Catholic parish church of St. James is the largest church in Burghausen. The Romanesque predecessor church on this site was consecrated on September 19, 1140, as a branch of the Mehring parish. It was destroyed by flames in the town fire of 1353. Construction began that same year; the church burned down again in 1504, was rebuilt, and collapsed in 1851. It was rebuilt as a three-aisled basilica from 1853 to 1855 according to plans by the architect Franz Denzinger. The Baroque furnishings were removed, and the interior was renovated in the Neo-Gothic style.

      The organ concerts in the predominantly neo-Gothic church are always worth a visit.
