Description

Også i Sankt Jakobskirken finder vi spanske spor tilbage, selvom de stammer fra middelalderen. “Apostlen Jakob den Ældre blev ifølge legenden begravet i Compostella, hvilket gjorde byen til et pilgrimssted,” fortæller vores guide. “Strækningen Sankt Jakobsgade/Prinsessegade var engang en bymur. De pilgrimme, der vandrede fra Nederlandene eller Skandinavien til Compostella, fandt her et gæstehus, der var viet til den hellige Jakob. Kvarterets kapel, bygget i 1413, blev også viet til den hellige, ligesom den senere sognkirke. Nu bliver pilgrimme stadig velsignet her, før de rejser til Spanien.”

På hoveddøren i Lange Nieuwstraat finder du en statue af en pilgrim. Samtidig er denne kirke flittigt besøgt for gravmonumentet af en af de mest kendte mennesker fra Antwerpen: maleren Peter Paul Rubens. Kirken ejer også et maleri som alterstykke udført af Peter Paul Rubens og Jacob Jordaens. Kirken er under restaurering, men kan dagligt (delvist) besøges mellem kl. 14 og 17.
