About St. James' Church, Antwerp

St. James' Church is a former collegiate church in Antwerp, Belgium. The church was built on the site of a hostel and chapel used by pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela and is still a pilgrimage church for those travelling to Santiago de Compostela. The building was designed by members of the Waghemakere family and Rombout Keldermans in the Brabantine Gothic style. The church has a very rich interior with furnishings and decorations mainly executed in the Baroque style. It holds paintings by Antwerp's leading painters from the 16th and 17th century such as Maerten de Vos, Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens as well as abundant marble sculptures and church furniture crafted by Antwerp sculptors such as Artus Quellinus the Younger, Pieter Verbrugghen the Elder, Jan Pieter van Baurscheit de Elder, Jan Claudius de Cock and Michiel van der Voort the Elder. The church has 24 altars and contains the last resting place of many prominent Antwerp citizens, including Rubens and his wife Helena Fourment.
