Jacobikerk

The Jacobikerk is a landmark Protestant church in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The building is located on the St Jacobsstraat, named for its patron saint St. James the Greater.

Today it is known as the starting place for Dutch pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella along the Way of St. James.

[1] In 1576-1577 a cannon was installed in the church tower, aimed at Vredenburg (castle) where the Spanish soldiers there were under siege by the Utrecht schutters.

[2] The church still accommodates weekly Sunday services, but is regularly rented out for other functions, including weddings and concerts, but also for various cultural initiatives of the city or the local university.
