Stadtkirche St. Laurentius, Gothic church in Havelberg, Germany.

St. Laurentius Church sits on Havelberg's city island with a 46 meter tower that defines the skyline alongside St. Marien Cathedral. The building displays Gothic architecture with features that developed across centuries.

The first written record dates to 1340, mentioning altar donations, which suggests construction began around 1300 on existing foundations. The church's origins thus lie in the transition between late medieval times and early modern periods, shaped by local religious needs.

The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence and belongs to the Protestant parish of Havelberg-Nitzow. The Reformation reached Havelberg in 1541, and Matthias Klugk is recorded as the first Protestant pastor. In 2015 the church hosted changing flower exhibitions during the Federal Garden Show in the Havel region.

The church stands in the southeast of Havelberg's old town island, its 46-metre tower visible from afar. The west portal opens into a two-storey porch, with a 1459 Crucifixion relief and a stone atonement cross of about 1380 set into the wall beside it. The south portal of the nave is walled up; the north entrance, a neo-Gothic doorway, occupies the site of the chapel demolished in the 19th century.

The tower's baroque hood, completed in 1660, replaced a copper-covered dome destroyed with all five bells, the organ and the wooden vaults in a fire in 1658. Lightning struck the tower porch in 1704, and another strike damaged the church again in 1752 before repairs ended.
