St. James' Church (Hauptkirche St. Jacobi) in Hamburg-Mitte is one of the city's five principal churches, built beginning in 1201 in brick Gothic style. Its imposing 125-meter tower dominates the city centre. The church converted to Lutheranism in 1529 and houses a celebrated organ by master builder Arp Schnitger, completed in 1693. Designated a Hamburg heritage monument, the structure was destroyed during bombing in 1944.
