Laurentius Church, Baroque church in Dirmstein, Germany

The Laurentius Church features a 34-meter tower with a Romanesque-Gothic base and houses two separate worship areas under one central roof.

Construction occurred between 1742 and 1747, following initial plans by architect Johann Balthasar Neumann and modifications by Franz Rothermel for local implementation.

The church operates as a simultaneum, with dedicated spaces for Catholic and Protestant congregations divided by a solid central wall built into the original design.

Located at Affenstein 1 in Dirmstein, the church provides parking spaces behind the building and additional spots at nearby Schlossplatz.

The tower belongs jointly to both Catholic and Protestant congregations, while the interior spaces proportionally reflect the historical religious demographics of Dirmstein.
