The St. James' Church in Antwerp is an imposing Gothic church with a rich history and one of the city's hidden gems. Located in the heart of Antwerp, the church was built in the 15th century and was an important place of pilgrimage on the route to Santiago de Compostela for centuries.

What makes the church special is its beautiful Baroque interior, with numerous works of art by Flemish masters, including Peter Paul Rubens. His burial chapel is also located in this church, making it a special place for art lovers and admirers of his work.

The St. James' Church exudes a serene and majestic atmosphere, with its impressive vaults, beautiful stained glass windows and a richly decorated pulpit. It is a place where history, art and spirituality come together, and a visit is a true journey through Antwerp's past.
