Church of Saint Lawrence, Gothic Revival church in Vrchlabí, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Lawrence is a Gothic Revival basilica built in 1886–1889 by architect Stephan Tragl. Its three-nave hall with transept and polygonal presbytery is clad in red sandstone from Prosečný, with yellow Hořice sandstone pillars and window tracery. A 60-metre tower with corner turrets rises above the entrance, and the facade has a stepped portal with a finial.

The church was completed in 1889 during a period of active religious and architectural development in the Trutnov area. Gothic Revival was the preferred style for new or renovated sacred buildings at that time.

The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence, a deacon and martyr, and its annual parish fair is held around his feast day on 10 August. The building also hosts concerts and community events, and the preserved Renaissance tower gallery and old tombstones embedded in the tower link the present church to its Gothic predecessor.

The church is located on the central square of Vrchlabí and is easy to find and reach on foot. From this spot, visitors can explore the town center or access other nearby locations.

The 60-metre spire holds stone reliefs and valuable tombstones walled in from the demolished 14th-century Gothic church. The tower clock was made by Ludwig Hainz's Prague firm, and its chimes first rang on 25 December 1888.
