St. Laurentius, Gothic Revival church in Wanne, Herne, Germany.

The St. Laurentius church features a four-story bell tower with paired pointed arch windows and stands as a three-nave hall construction in brickwork.

Constructed between 1884 and 1892 under architect Arnold Güldenpfennig, the church endured significant damage during World War II from artillery fire and bombs.

The interior displays artistic elements including stained glass windows depicting the eight Beatitudes, designed by Georg Meistermann between 1978 and 1988.

Located at Hauptstraße 317 in Herne, the church belongs to the larger parish of St. Christophorus, which encompasses Catholic congregations in Wanne-Eickel.

The church tower contains four cast steel bells from Bochumer Verein, replacing the original bells that were surrendered during World War I.
