St Lawrence's Church, Catholic church in southern Macau, China.

The church exhibits a neoclassical design with two square towers reaching 21 meters in height and features a yellow exterior with ornate pillars inside.

Constructed by Jesuits before 1560, the present structure of St Lawrence's Church received its current form through substantial renovations completed in 1846.

Portuguese sailors' families gathered on the church steps to pray for safe returns, leading to its Chinese name Feng Shun Tang, meaning Hall of Soothing Winds.

The church welcomes visitors from 7:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and extends hours until 21:00 during weekends, with no entrance fee required.

The ground plan forms a Latin cross measuring 37 by 29 meters, with two interior chapels in the shorter sections and a vaulted arch main nave.
