St. Lorenz

St. Lorenz is a church in Travemünde near the Baltic Sea coast, built entirely of brick in the northern German style. The structure features a prominent tower and an interior designed to accommodate the local community for services and gatherings.

The church was founded in 1259 and took on its present form around the middle of the 16th century. It has shaped the religious and architectural character of the Travemünde district since that time.

The church is named after Saint Lawrence and serves as a gathering place for the local community in Travemünde. Concerts and events held here draw both residents and visitors throughout the year.

The church is located near the city center and is easily reached on foot or by public transport. The interior is open to visitors who can attend regular services and events held throughout the week.

The brick pattern of the facade follows a regional craft tradition maintained in northern German architecture over centuries. This building technique made it possible to create durable structures without expensive stone.
