St. Laurentius

The stone church features a baroque spire with a double point, a bell tower, and contains remnants of Romanesque architecture in its north windows and triumphal arch.

Founded in 1206, St. Laurentius Church began as a fortified structure, suggesting its role as both a place of worship and protection for the local community.

The church displays historical frescoes on its north wall, contains a baptismal font from the original construction, and preserves half a saint figure surrounded by twelve apostles.

The church maintains regular religious services and houses a restored Conrad Geißler organ from 1875 with 19 registers across two manuals and pedals.

During the Thirty Years' War, while the entire village of Krostitz was destroyed, St. Laurentius Church remained standing as the only surviving structure.
