St. Laurentius, Gothic Revival parish church in Merzenich, Germany.

The three-aisled hall church features a four-story bell tower, transept, seven-sided choir, and brick construction with ribbed vaults throughout the interior.

Built between 1898 and 1901 by architect Theodor Roß, the church replaced a smaller 13th-century structure that became insufficient for the growing population.

The church preserves an Antwerp altarpiece from the 16th century, which now serves as a side altar alongside the neo-Gothic high altar created in 1899.

Located at Lindenstraße 11 in central Merzenich, the church belongs to the Diocese of Aachen and maintains regular religious services for the community.

The church organ, installed in 1997 by Orgelbau Schumacher from Eupen, contains 29 stops distributed across two manuals and a pedalboard with mechanical action.
