Laurentius Chapel (Miltenberg)
The Laurentius Chapel in Miltenberg am Main was mentioned as early as 1380 in an anniversary foundation of the Aschaffenburg canon Berthold Forstmeister von Gelnhausen : This idyllic little church on the other side of the pointed tower, in whose cemetery the honorable citizens of Alt-Miltenberg slept towards their origins ...
The current choir of the chapel consecrated to St. Lawrence of Rome is dated 1456 and at that time also received the wall paintings that had only been exposed again since 1913. The nave is an extension around 1594. The chapel's most valuable treasure is a late Gothic winged altar . The case of the organ comes from the Maria uff den Staffeln church .
The Laurentiusfriedhof around the chapel documents in its tombs the high level of stonemasonry of the late 16th century in this area. It also reflects the history from then to the end of the 19th century. The Laurentius Chapel is within sight of the historic Mainzer Tor , directly on Laurentiusstrasse. The Mud and the Main are in the immediate vicinity .
