St.Lawrence church Lübeck

The brick structure features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that create high interior spaces filled with natural light throughout the building.

The construction of St. Lawrence Church started in 1669 near the town hall, marking the development of religious architecture in medieval Lübeck.

The interior contains an astronomical clock and northern Germany's largest carillon, illustrating the intersection of timekeeping and musical traditions.

Visitors can enter the church for 4 euros, with reduced tickets available at 2 euros, and explore the building with assistance from staff members.

The church windows display a dance of death sequence, representing medieval artistic interpretations of mortality through detailed glass craftsmanship.
