Saint Jacob church was formerly Romanic church from the 1st quarter of the 13th century, at the turn of the 14th and 15th cenuries it was deomlished and a new church was built here in a late Gothic style during the 15th and 16th centuries. By the purism adaptations in the 70-ies of the 19th century were some buildings in the perimeter of the church abolished and the western face was rebuilt. It is a hall building with three-aisles and a gallery around the sacrarium and triangular ending. The prismatic tower in the face is 92 meters high and it is a dominant of the old town. In the three-aisles are semicular vaults with segments, in the vestry is a cross vault and in the sacrarium a star vault. At the end of the sacrarium's gallery was placed a mausoleum of Louis Raduite de Souches from the last quarter of the 17th century with a sculpture.
