Ybbs’ Stadtpfarrkirche is dedicated to St. Laurenz and was built between 1466 and 1485 by the Viennese master builder Laurenz Spenning, but not finally completed until 1521. The church was remodelled in 1721 in the Baroque style after the disastrous fire of 1716 and furnished with a new tower with characteristic onion dome. The dome was replaced in the 19th century with a plain polygonal spire giving the church an appearance more in keeping with its Gothic origins. The highlight of the richly decorated interior is the tomb of Hans von Ybbs, dating from 1368, with its lifelike representation of the knight.
