Satrup - St. Laurentius

The large peninsula of Angeln was "administered" by the bishops in Lund (Sweden) around 1200, when the church in Satrup was built. They made sure then that still today almost every parish in Angeln has a (sometimes small) Romanesque church. The single nave Laurentius church in Satrup is quite large.

The interior is dominated by the large late Gothic triumphal cross, created around 1500. Often two persons flank the cross. The persons are usually Mary, the mother of Jesus, and one of his disciples, usually, following the Gospels, the apostle John.
