The St. James' Church was begun in 1073 under Bishop Hermann and completed in 1109 by Bishop Otto. The western of the two choirs was renovated in the Gothic style in the 15th century, and the eastern apse was masked by a Baroque façade in 1771 under Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim. At the same time, the southern, half-finished tower was demolished and the northern one was crowned with an onion dome. A coat of arms from the 13th century is the oldest example of the coat of arms used by the Bamberg "city knights".
