This is the Church 'St. Jakobus' in Seebronn, Germany, Baden-Württemberg located in the middle of the village nearby to the town hall in the street 'Hindenburgstraße'.

In the middle of the village Seebronn on the main road, which crosses the city from east to west, on an elevated and walled square stands the parish church of St. Jakobus.

The simple Baroque architecture, a nave with extruded polygonal choir, was created from 1755 to 1760 and is perhaps partly on the foundations of the old chapel.

Its strong and aspiring heavenward tower with a Baroque onion dome attracts from afar the eye and appears on the building to his feet to draw attention, which turns out on closer inspection, a building from the baroque period.

The tower, built in 1705 and the oldest part of the parish church, is preferred in the West and on the ground floor has a barrel vault. In the lower part square, the tower is about halfway up the octagon and is crowned at the top end by a copper onion dome. Below the onion dome oculi are round-arched openings sound.

The church was finally secured from June 2004 to July 2005 in a static first phase and out in a second phase of construction and interior renovation. The completion of this latest renovation was in the 250th year after the foundation stone of the church in 1755.
