Chapel St. Lawrence

The Chapel St. Lawrence was first mentioned in 1380. The choir dates back to 1456, the nave was extended in 1594. The late Gothic winged altarpiece from 1509, the frescos in the choir, the stone statue of St. Lawrence right from 1456, the statue “Mary and the Child” from around 1470, and the carved epitaph for Hans Ruppert from 1597, are considered precious jewels. In 1826 the Baroque organ was relocated from the demolished chapel Maria uff den Staffeln.

The monuments in the small cemetery document the expertise of stonemasons throughout the centuries. The epitaph of Jost Virnhaber, an innkeeper of the Riesen, at the southern wall of the choir is especially remarkable.

The chapel is open as part of a church service, concert or guided tour only.
