The church building dates back to the 15th century. The roof is beautifully designed.

The Evangelical Reformed Parish Church of St. Gallen is dedicated to the martyr Laurentius of Rome as its patron saint. For centuries, the church was the political, religious, and social center of the St. Gallen city republic and has had a lasting impact on the city's history. The first church on this site probably originated in the mid-12th century. St. Laurenzen received its present neo-Gothic appearance in 1845 according to the plans of Johann Georg Müller.
