St. Jacob's Church was built in 1471 on the foundations of a smaller church, at least two hundred years old than the present one. The parish church of Škofja Loka is a late-gothic hall-like church. Its interior is adorned with reliefs of guilds and church’s patrons, the ceiling is decorated with frescoes painted in the 16th century. St. Jacob’s has a black marble renaissance from 1694 and a remarkable main altar with gilded statues. In the 20th century the interior of the church was renovated according to drawings by famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik; chandeliers and a new baptistery were added too.
