Saint Lawrence
Thanks to scientific research, we now know that only one monument from the 1000s was preserved in Ename: the Saint Lawrence church. This building received a thorough restoration between the years 2000 and 2002.
The church, founded by Count Herman of Verdun, is basilicalike in style with an eastern- and western choir. The eastern choir with two altar levels and rich incidence of light really caughts one’s attention. Blind arches decorate the interior and exterior of the building. The two choirs remind us of the grand reich churches of Hildesheim, the blind arches of buildings in Ravenna, the berth of the Ottonian emperors in Italy. The patron saint Saint Lawrence, a favorite saint of emperor Otto I, refers to the national authority.
