The St. Lorenz Church in the parish of St. Lorenz am Mondsee is a Baroque church dating from 1726 to 1730, dedicated to Saint Lawrence of Rome. It was built on the site of an older church from the 15th century and consecrated in 1732 by Abbot Bernhard Lidl. The church is picturesquely situated at the foot of the Drachenwand and is a striking landmark of the Mondsee region.
Architecturally, it is a single-nave building with a double-towered façade and onion domes, typical of southern German Baroque. Inside are three marble altars by the Salzburg sculptor Georg Doppler, with altarpieces by Jakob Zanusi. Two important sculptures – a Man of Sorrows and a Sorrowful Virgin – are by Meinrad Guggenbichler. Since 2016, the church has had a new organ by the Alfred Kern & Fils workshop in Strasbourg.
In 2015–2016, the church underwent extensive renovations, including the restoration of both the roof and the interior, as well as a liturgical redesign. New elements such as the people's altar, ambo, and tabernacle were crafted from light Untersberg marble. The branch church was temporarily used as a parish church (1784–1808), but today it once again belongs to the Mondsee parish. It is a listed building and considered an important Baroque gem in the region.
The church is regularly open for services in the summer and is also used for baptisms, weddings, and pilgrimages. Its tranquil location with a view of the mountains makes it a popular place for reflection and contemplation.
