The cemetery church of St. Jakobi in the Ortrand cemetery is dedicated to the apostle St. James the Elder. The listed church is considered the oldest building in the city and is now used by the Roman Catholic community as a burial church. It was built in the 13th century. It was a stop on the Way of St. James, the pilgrim route to the grave of the church patron James the Elder in Santiago de Compostela.
