Rothenburg, Germany: St. James Church

You call it St. James, they call it St. Jakob. Either way, it's an impressive structure.

Construction started back in the 1300s, and the place was finished in 1484. Its big claim to fame, as these things go, is a Holy Blood altar piece. It was finished in 1505, and contains scenes from famous moments in history like the Lord's Supper.

The facility got a spiffy organ in 1968, filled with 69 stops. That number sounds impressive, and instrument is quite beautiful in its location in the back of the facility.
