St. James’ Parish Church

---

The construction of the old parish church was completed in 1897, soon after the creation of the parish (1892). It was a spacious and beautiful construction for its time. Built on unstable ground, it soon started to develop fissures. Immediately after the end of the First World War, the parishioners began to think about building a new church. Construction lasted from 1934 until January 19, 1969, when it was consecrated. St James Church is today the focus and the centre of both sacramental and prayer life, not only for the parishioners, but also for pilgrims.
