The parish church of St. Jakobi in the old town stands on the foundations of a smaller predecessor church. It was already recognizable on the first city seal from 1248. Some foundations from it have been preserved to this day.
After the great city fire of 1478, the church was rebuilt. The first record of this church dates back to 1495, when the consecration took place. At that time, presumably the oldest part, the sacristy, and the vaulted choir were completed. The choir has two bays with ribbed vaults and ends with a polygonal apse with a 5/8 closure.
