The Roman Catholic parish church of Böheimkirchen, dedicated to Saint James the Elder, rises on the Hochfeld above Böheimkirchen. Originally built as a fortified church, it is surrounded by a walled cemetery and, together with the rectory and elementary school, forms a distinctive ensemble. The parish was first documented around 1050 and was affiliated to the St. Pölten Abbey between 1399 and 1784. The church suffered damage during the Turkish invasions of 1529 and 1683. Between 1731 and 1734, the nave was remodeled in the Baroque style under Provost Johann Michael Führer. A comprehensive restoration took place between 1973 and 1981.

Architecturally, the church combines various stylistic periods. The originally medieval nave was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The late Gothic choir and lower church date from the early 16th century, while the striking west tower dates from the 14th century and has a wedge roof from 1898.
