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

    The tower of St. Jacob's Church was especially important for shipping. Ships could be seen from the tower. The tower could be seen from afar at sea, along with several other towers such as the Gevangentoren. In the St. Jacobskerk, two grave monuments remind of the VOC past. The grave monument of Jan Lambrechtsen Coolen hangs on a wall. In addition to being a director and merchant, Coolen was also mayor of Vlissingen. The second funerary monument belongs to Daniel Octavius Barwell. This memorial depicts a sinking East Indiaman. Coats of arms of the Lampsins family hang on the wall.

    Historical indication:
    the Sint Jacobskerk was built in the period 1308 - 1328. The church was enlarged around 1500 with a cruciform church and enlarged again in 1558.
    In 1911, the church and tower were largely destroyed by fire. Reconstruction was completed in 1915. In 1954 the church was restored due to the heavy war damage of 1944.
    The last restoration was carried out in 1998. The tower is not owned by the church, but the city of Vlissingen owns it.
