Église Saint-Jacques
The origins of the Saint-Jacques church in Châtellerault date back to 1008. Apart from a few extensions or slight modifications, the building retained its original appearance until the 17th century. After a major restoration campaign completed in 1858, Abbot Boislabeille decided in 1867 to have a very important bell ensemble installed in the two towers, comprising six bells in flight and a large carillon.
