This church has stood in Roßtal for around 1,000 years. It is typically made of sandstone for the region. Over the centuries, something has been added or repaired over and over again, which is why you can recognize different stylistic epochs: Some components come from the Romanesque, others like the tower from the Gothic. Its interior is also worth seeing and differs from many other churches: the ceiling is quite low for a church and clad with wood. There is also a two-story gallery on one side of the nave.

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Laurentius Church has shaped the architectural image of the Franconian market in Roßtal for around 1,000 years. The mighty structure that visitors can see today clearly shows architectural styles from different eras. You can find detailed information about the church and the crypt, which was probably built around 1020 at: ev-kirche-rosstal.de/gebaeude/rosstal

Saint Laurentius, to whom this church in Roßtal 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, in the meantime distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and after the agreed time came with the poor to the emperor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. 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. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand he was ready, whether he didn't want to turn him over.

The memorial day of Saint Laurentius in the calendar of saints is August 10th.
