Beautiful church with much less pomp than I am used to from Catholic churches.

An impressive church that can be seen from afar. The interior is rather simple, with a beautiful altar and great windows.
St. Laurentius is the patron of the parish church in Wallhausen. Archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II, died on August 10, 258, a torture. After the legendary story of suffering, Laurentius was roasted to death on a grill. Under Constantine a basilica was built near his grave. The church of St. Lorenzo fuori le mura is one of the seven main churches in Rome.
