The Church of St. James in Germersheim is one of the last remaining Gothic church buildings in the Palatinate. Today it is the seat of the parish of the same name and is a listed building.
The first mention of a castle chapel was in 1280. Between 1286/87 and 1291 the Servite Order founded a monastery here. On December 12, 1474, Elector Frederick the Victorious received permission from the Bishop of Speyer to attend church services in Germersheim. In 1487, the Germersheim bailiff Keckhans von Gemmingen was buried in the church, and in 1479 his wife Brigitta von Neuenstein was also buried there.

The Servite monastery was converted into a secular canonry in 1527. Due to the introduction of the Reformation, the canonry was abandoned in 1556. After that, there were several changes of user: the Lutherans until 1563, the Reformed until 1577, the Lutherans again until 1583, followed again by the Reformed. In 1680, the Catholics were again granted joint use rights, and in 1697 they were authorized to use the church exclusively. Just two years later, another monastery was founded, this time by the Franciscans, who were expelled by the French revolutionary troops in 1793. Today, the church is the seat of the Germersheim deanery of the Speyer diocese and the parish of Saint Jakobus Germersheim.
