Kostel svatého Vavřince - Přerov I-Město

I have just read a long and detailed narration by Mrs. Zdeňka Mollinová about the history of the Church of St. Lawrence in Přerov. I have to remotely thank her for interesting information. I have heard her lectures on this subject many times, not only about St. Lawrence, but also other temples in Přerov and its surroundings.

Baroque church

I like going to mass.

Beautiful church and even more beautiful organ.

Very beautiful church
