This historical gem in the heart of Winterberg's old town takes you on a journey back in time to the 13th century. St. James, the patron saint of pilgrims on the famous Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela, watches over the impressive building.
Discover the fascinating resilience of this place: the church was destroyed three times by devastating town fires and lovingly rebuilt by the people of Winterberg with combined forces. The historic altar from the early 18th century is an absolute highlight. Let your gaze wander over the walls and admire the impressive apostle figures, which originally came from Grafschaft Abbey, which was dissolved in 1803.
