    The St. Laurentius Church is a Roman Catholic parish church dedicated to St. Laurentius in the Rhineland-Palatinate Saarburg, district of Trier-Saarburg. It replaced the Holy Cross Chapel built here in the 13th century. The church building is a cultural monument and, together with Saarburg Castle, forms one of the main accents of the city skyline.
    The neo-Gothic church building, which draws on styles from the 13th century, is a monumental slate quarry stone building.
    The tower, made of sandstone rubble and squared at the corners, is the oldest part of the church. It was doubled into a facade tower in 1563 and raised in 1854 by a fourth floor in the style of the early Gothic. In addition, the tower received the distinctive twin pyramid helmet.

    I found the view of the ceiling interesting, which shows a cross vault in one aisle, but a simple wooden ceiling in the main and other aisles.
