The Church of St. Lawrence in Laskowice, which was built in the second half of the 19th century, serves as a cemetery church. The wooden temple with a log structure is distinguished by a slender tower topped with a pyramidal helmet with a bell cast at the beginning of the 17th century in the workshop of Jakub Götz in Wrocław. The main altar with woodcarving decoration was made in the Baroque style in the mid-17th century. In it, one can see sculptures of saints: Peter, Paul, Catherine, Barbara, and Michael the Archangel, as well as a painting of St. Lawrence, which is probably the work of a folk artist. Among the interior furnishings, the pulpit from the 17th century and several exhibits of sacred art also deserve attention. In the church, there is a burial crypt of Countess Brigitta Buchta von Buchtitz and her mother. At the south-eastern section of the fence, there is a monument dedicated to the villagers who fell during World War I. The church is surrounded by a cemetery with historic tombstones and old trees. Practical information: Visiting the interiors by prior telephone arrangement. Free admission. Sightseeing time: 1 hour. Parking spaces in front of the church.
