Saint Lawrence Church, building in Hauskirchen, Austria

Saint Lawrence Church stands on a raised terrace in the southeast of Hauskirchen. It has a Romanesque core from the 13th century, a 14th-century Gothic choir, a 15th-century north aisle with cross-ribbed vault, and a west tower. The building was largely reshaped in 1897–1899 under cathedral master builder Julius Hermann, using local Schneckenkalksandstein.

A parish was founded around 1150 by Hugo von Liechtenstein, and the church core is Romanesque from the 13th century. A Gothic choir followed in the 14th century, with the aisle and ribbed vault added in the 15th. After Baroque changes, Julius Hermann led the 1897–1899 renovation that shaped the present exterior; the parish was re-established in 1784 under Josephinian reforms.

The church carries the name of Saint Lawrence and has served as the heart of the community in Hauskirchen for centuries. Baptisms, weddings, and funerals take place here, marking important moments in residents' lives and turning the building into a repository of family memories.

The church stands on a raised terrace southeast of the village centre, reached from Schulgasse. The main entrance is on the west side beneath the tower, with the choir and high altar at the east end. The nave is entered at ground level, but the sloping approach may be difficult for wheelchairs.

The church's most unusual object is the Andachtsbild der Madonna de Re, a copy of the venerated image in the Madonna del Sangue pilgrimage church in Piedmont. Its frame inscription records renovation in 1799, and the parish chronicle notes it once served as a side-altar painting. A Latin band beneath reads IN GREMIO MATRIS SEDET SAPIENTIA PATRIS.
