Introduction
The brand-new St. Laurentius Church, built between the 13th and 15th centuries, is a typical Gothic cathedral. The most impressive features inside the church are the star-shaped dome of the sanctuary and the suspended wooden sculpture of the Announcing Angel, handcrafted by another famous German artist, Veit. Veit's other masterpiece is the crucifixion of Jesus on the high altar, while Adam Kraft created the tabernacle for the Holy Sacrament. St. Laurentius Church was built on the foundation of an ancient Roman rectangular cathedral, and between the two Gothic towers, there are round stained-glass windows with a diameter of 9 meters, adorned with countless triangles and broken roses.
