The tower of the former St. Leonhard Hospital and Parish Church is still visible from afar above Lauf. The nave was destroyed in the Margrave War in 1553.

Unfortunately, the interior was closed in July 2021. Pity!

During the night of lights, the ⛪ ruin was a special attraction 👌🏼 and highly recommended, certainly during the day.
