Sint-Jacobskerk: attic walk

All the way up to the roof of the church, with a panoramic view over Ghent as the icing on the cake! De Oost-Vlaamse Monumentenwachters provide a guided attic walk in the Sint-Jacobskerk. Along the spiral staircase with 94 steps, you go to the impressive roof truss. De Mmonumentenwachters give you an insight into their work and explain how they prepare the Ghent monuments for the future thanks to inspections and professional knowledge. You get the beautiful panoramic view of the surroundings from one of the West Towers on top of that. Before you go up, our guide tells you more about the (roof) construction of the church and about the craft of carpenters in Ghent. Accessibility: Flat footwear and a good physical condition are a must. Furthermore, you must not have a fear of heights or confined spaces.
