The branch church of St. Laurentius , called Laurenzi Church, is a Roman Catholic Romanesque church consecrated to St. Lawrence in the scattered settlement of Haag near Markersdorf in the municipality of Neulengbach in Lower Austria .

The church is on the western slope of the Buchberg in an elevated position. The church was built in the second half of the 12th century. A late Gothic choir was added to the Romanesque round church around 1500 on the east side, and later a tower on the north side.

St. Laurentius was the parish church from 1339 to 1528; In 1529 it burned down in the train of the first Turkish siege and has been a subsidiary of Neulengbach since 1544 .

The church contains spolia from Roman times. On the south side of the outer wall a Roman stone is walled in, which comes from a grave adicula from the 3rd century and shows a relief of a winged genius of death .
