The Jakobikirche in Oelsnitz was first mentioned in a document in 1227. Today's building is an asymmetrical hall church, which is located in the east corner of the formerly walled old town. A wonderful building.

The cityscape of Oelsnitz/Vogtl. is characterized by the highest church towers in the Vogtland. The twin towers of the St. Jakobi town church soar 73.5 meters into the sky.
