Basilica of St. James

The Basilica of St. James is a neogothic Roman Catholic church in Jamestown, North Dakota, serving as a parish church of the Diocese of Fargo and holding the honorary title of minor basilica. Built around 1910 and dedicated to the Apostle James the Elder, the church reflects the architectural ambitions of early Midwestern immigrant Catholic communities who transplanted European cathedral traditions onto the Great Plains. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognizes its architectural significance within the region. The church remains an active place of worship and a quiet landmark in small-city Jamestown.
