The St. James Church is a Gothic church built in the 16th century. There must have been a chapel before, probably Romanesque, because in the "Present State of the United Netherlands" (1753) it is mentioned that in 1207 a certain John of Renesse was buried in front of the main altar of the church of Renesse.
