The Church of St. James the Great (Czech: Kostel svatého Jakuba Staršího) is an early Gothic church in Jihlava in the Czech Republic. It is a three-aisled temple nave with a long presbytery and two high towers in the front. It is consecrated to the patron of miners Saint James the Great. The church of Saint James the Great was first mentioned in documents, which are dated to 1256, when the previous church, which stood in its place, was burned down. In the same year the construction of the new church began. In 1257 the presbytery was completed, since the main altar of Saint Nicholas was consecrated in the same year. The consecration was carried out by the bishop Bruno von Schauenburg, who also promoted the church to parish. The first priest in the newly ordained church was Stephen, one of the prominent figures in the history of medieval Jihlava. The construction of the church continued in the next decade.
