Laurentiuskirche, Romanesque church in Bünde, Germany

The Laurentius Church features a transept with two side apses, a straight-ended choir, and a north aisle that transforms it into a two-nave hall.

The church's foundation dates back to the late 8th century during the Christianization of Saxon territories, with first written documentation from 853.

The Laurentius Church serves as the main Lutheran parish church of the Lydia congregation, hosting religious services and wedding ceremonies.

The church opens its doors to visitors every Saturday between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, with volunteers present to answer questions.

Archaeological excavations in 1979 revealed foundation remains from around 800 AD, indicating potential connections to the time of Charlemagne.
