This church commemorates Saint James the Great, for whom thousands of people walk the Camino to Santiago de Compostela every year. In memory of Saint James the Great, millions of walkers have already walked the well-known Saint James route, also known as the Camino to Santiago de Compostela.
The route is now not only taken by believers, but by all kinds of pilgrims who are looking for meaning and a look inside. Hundreds of churches in Europe were also dedicated to Saint James the Great, including this one in Roosteren.
The original Roosters church from the thirteenth century was replaced in 1843 by the current church, designed by architect Jean Dumoulin. During the Second World War, the church suffered damage, which was repaired in 1946. The church has since been designated a national monument.
The Church of St. James the Greater is one of the wonder locations on the Route full of Wonder . During this cycling route through the Grensmaasvallei, more than 30 locations can be visited digitally when they are not open to the public. Curious about the stories or take a look inside?
