Saint Laurent

The Grevenmacher parish church, dedicated to the Roman deacon and martyr Lawrence, was a deanery church from 1820 until 2017 and has since then had the status of a national monument. It has a long and eventful history. The church was erected in 1782-83 in accordance with the architectural plans of Johann Anton Neurohr of Trier. It was transformed and renovated several times. It is a simple and unpretentiously built single-nave church whose striking features include the monumental glass window from the 1950s, a Westenfelder organ built into the tower in 1983 as well as many other artistic works.

The four bells in the tower (Laurentius I, Donatus, Maria, Laurentius II) and the smallest one (Nicolas) in the roof truss above the altar also tell stories. For example, the “fire bell” (Laurentius I) was recast in 1824 from the metal of the bell that had melted in the fire of 1822.
