About Sint-Jacobskerk (Leuven)

Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Catholic Churches

De Sint-Jacobskerk is een kerk in de Belgische stad Leuven.

De Sint-Jacobskerk is gebouwd in romaanse stijl en dateert uit de 13e eeuw. Van de oorspronkelijke kerk rest tegenwoordig nog enkel de toren, die deel uitmaakt van de zeven wonderen van Leuven. De dwarsbeuk werd tussen 1457 en 1488 opgericht door de bouwmeester van het Leuvense stadhuis, Matthijs de Layens.

De kerk sloot in 1964 haar deuren wegens stabiliteitsproblemen en staat sindsdien leeg. De kerk werd inwendig gestut om verder verval tegen te gaan. Sinds 2007 zijn er plannen om de kerk volledig te restaureren en er naar Maastrichts voorbeeld een boekhandel in onder te brengen. De kosten worden geraamd op 12,5 miljoen euro.
