Sint Jacobskerk Vlissingen

The church stands directly at Alten Markt and is visible from afar.

The church, dedicated to St. James the Elder until the Reformation, was carved from West Soubourg around 1320 and became a pilgrimage station on the Way of St. James. The construction of today's late-Gothic parish church began around 1500, taking over from a predecessor building from the mid-14th century, the church tower and the choir with 5/8-end. The completion of the today Vlissinger Jakobskirche took place around 1558, this year is found in one of the side chapels (Wikipedia).

The place in front of the church invites you to take a long, nice rest, and the numerous songs that the church carillon tinkles very often can be exciting or exhausting 😄
