St. Laurentius Church
Vechta, DE
In 1011, the construction of a first church started. The furnishings of this pre-Romanesque building were adapted during the 18th and 19th century to match the tastes of the time, but hardly any structural changes were made. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church became too small and the parish decided to build a new and spacious church. Only the thousand year old bell tower has been preserved as a symbol of historical continuity.
