Hiking

The Renaissance portal of St. James's Church is an ornate entrance reflecting the style of the Julius Echter period (around 1608). It combines late Gothic elements with Renaissance forms and marks the entrance to the church, which was built on the foundations of a previous Gothic church.

Originally built in the 14th century, it was largely rebuilt in 1608 under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter – only the Gothic choir survived.

Hiking

The Mount of Olives scene at St. James's Church is an impressive late Gothic sandstone figural group, created around 1510. It depicts Christ praying on the Mount of Olives, surrounded by sleeping disciples—a moving moment from the Passion of Christ, artfully captured in stone.
