St. Laurentius

This medieval structure features a central nave from 1080, a choir tower, and a north aisle constructed around 1200, with two-tone exterior walls emphasizing its architectural elements.

The church suffered extensive damage during the Thirty Years' War, leading to the complete demolition of its south aisle in 1650 and subsequent baroque restoration in 1651.

The interior contains art from multiple periods, including painting fragments, a crucifixion group from 1621, an altar retable, and various religious statues spanning different centuries.

The building underwent major renovations in the 1960s due to earthquake damage, during which the south aisle was reconstructed on its original foundation.

The Lessenich-Meßdorf Heart of Jesus procession, established in 1708, ranks among the earliest processions of its kind and continues at this location.
