Sankt Laurentius, Neoclassical church in Wuppertal, Germany

Sankt Laurentius features a grand double tower facade with an arched window and stands as a prominent structure in Wuppertal's architectural landscape.

Construction of the church began in 1828 under Archbishop Karl Adalbert Freiherr von Beyer, with completion delayed until 1835 due to technical difficulties.

The church maintains seven bronze bells in its west tower and houses two organs, including the main instrument built by Romanus Seifert in 1964.

The church building opens daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with regular Mass services scheduled according to current priest availability.

In December 2013, Sankt Laurentius received recognition as a papal Basilica minor, marking its elevated status among religious structures.
