The former St. Lawrence Church mentioned today was referenced as a "fortified church" in 1152. It was a Romanesque three-nave pillar basilica. Apparently, there was already a smaller church in the 8th century. In 1226, the church was remodeled in the late Gothic style. The main nave originates from the 15th century, while the post-Gothic side aisles date back to the early 17th century. Romanesque elements in the choir, round arches, columns, and doorways can still be seen. Noteworthy are the huge old stone cross with a figure of Christ from the 14th century, the crucifix from pre-Reformation times with an altar, the carved wooden pulpit, and the Stumm organ from 1759. By the way, the Verbandsgemeinde Wörrstadt is home to the world's highest density of playable historical organs, all of which are in good condition.
