Church of St. Lawrence

The Church of St. Lawrence stands as a brick structure with a rectangular nave, located on the North Frisian island of Föhr at coordinates 54.71629, 8.43518.

Originally constructed at the end of the 12th century as a Romanesque granite building, the church received its first written mention in a church registry from 1240.

The Lutheran church features a Gothic high altar with carved figures from the third quarter of the 15th century, positioned in front of the apse.

The church maintains regular services and provides access to a surrounding cemetery where residents from seven neighboring villages find their final resting place.

The cemetery contains gravestones that display distinct floral symbols: tulip-like flowers represent men and sons, while four-petaled flowers indicate women and daughters.
