The late-Gothic town church of St. Lawrence fell victim to the devastating city fire of 1779.

At the scene of the fire, a new church - the Christuskirche - was erected by the noble architect of Keßlau.

The church is built in a style of "Neoclassically cooled late Baroque". It was consecrated on November 24, 1785.

With its 1000 seats, the church is a record-breaking structure, although its basic dimensions are not that huge. Its main attraction is its very high nave.

Unfortunately, there is no information about the church on site and it is locked.
