About the location

Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur

10 Rue de l'Église, 68640 Feldbach

Haut-Rhin
Grand Est

Romanesque jewel of the Sundgau, the church dates from 1144\. It was built in stone carved in the limestone of the Jura by Count Frederick I of Ferrette as a burial place for himself and his family. Classified among the historical monuments, the church is today the oldest in Alsace dedicated to Saint Jacques le Majeur.
As we enter the door, we are struck by the stripping of the decoration, this church reminds us of monastic simplicity.
