"St. Laurentius (Ahrweiler)
Die gotische Kirche ist dreischiffig und durch Strebepfeiler gegliedert. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus verputztem Bruchstein. Der eingebaute Turm ist ab Dachansatz dreigeschossig und wird von Giebelkranz und Spitzhelm abgeschlossen. Letzterer ist ein Werk des Trierer Dombaumeisters Wilhelm Schmitz. Dieser hat in der Zeit zwischen 1899 und 1912 die Ahrweiler Laurentiuskirche maßgeblich renoviert und umgestaltet. Das Langhaus ist vier Joche lang, jedes Joch auf jeder Seite trägt ein Walmdach. Daran schließt sich jeweils ein schräg gestellter Seitenchor an."
