St. Laurentius, Parish church in Moselweiß, Koblenz, Germany

St. Laurentius is a three-aisled late Romanesque pillar basilica in Koblenz-Moselweiß, with groin vaults and round-arched arcades. Its five-storey unplastered tower of the 12th century stands on a square plan at the end of the north aisle, topped by a pyramidal roof. The nave is plastered and divided by pilasters and a round-arch frieze; two sacristies flank the straight-ended choir.

A church existed on this site by the 12th century; the tower's lower storey dates to around 1107. In 1201 a document of Provost Bruno of St. Kastor records the parish's separation from Liebfrauen. The present church was built in the early 13th century reusing the tower. A transept was added to the west in 1865, and a new sacristy southeast of the choir in 1882.

The church is dedicated to Saint Laurentius, a veneration rooted in the local faith tradition. Inside, medieval wall paintings and carved details depicting biblical scenes remain visible, reflecting how people expressed their religious beliefs through visual art.

The church is easily recognizable by its five-story tower with a cone-shaped roof and sits in a quiet neighborhood with a large stone cross and cemetery nearby. Visitors should note that the interior with its thick stone walls is relatively dim and encourages quiet reflection.

The late-Gothic stone pulpit, carved in 1467 by Hermann Sander, stood in the Liebfrauenkirche in Koblenz until 1786 before being moved here. Its tracery and reliefs show the four evangelists with their symbols, Christ in a pulpit, and Saint Jerome.
