From April to October: Open Church with personal guidance. The church tower (Schüttorfer Riese) can be climbed.

Saint Laurentius, to whom this Protestant church in Schüttorf is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was Archdeacon of the Pope and asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure of the Church.

Laurentius asked for three days' time, in the meantime he distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came with the poor to the emperor in order to present them to him as the church's treasure. He was then martyred to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Laurentius - roasted over coals. The memorial day of Saint Laurentius is on August 10th.

If you stand directly under the tower, it really is a giant.
