St. Laurentius

St. Laurentius is a filial church in Günzenhausen, Eching in the Freising district that displays traditional Bavarian rural architecture. The building combines simple brick facades with functional spaces that reflect the everyday life of a village community.

The church developed as part of rural sacred building traditions and was later protected as a cultural monument. Its official protection was established in 1973 under Bavarian monument preservation law to ensure its historical fabric remained intact.

The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence and has shaped the appearance of the Günzenhausen village for generations. It serves the local community as a place for worship and celebrations, with its simple design reflecting the rural character of the region.

The church is freely accessible as a heritage site and can be visited by those interested in Bavarian religious architecture. It is helpful to enter the grounds respectfully and check local service times if you wish to explore the interior.

The church bears the name of an early Christian martyr, connecting local worship traditions with broader European religious history. This link to saint veneration continues to shape the identity of the Günzenhausen area today.
