St. Lawrence parish-church - Paszto

The parish-church built in the 12th century in honour of the martyr St. Lawrence is one of the notable monuments in the small town, and is also the favourite departure point for mountain walks and trips.
The windows on the Eastern side, cutting through the abutments of the sanctuary, were only discovered in 1959. The delicate lithography on the stone mullions of the windows show the talent of their creator. The apex of one of the windows is filled up with a rose-like ornament, placed in the middle. This is completely unique in Hungary, reminding the visitor of Italy, and indicates an illustrious customer.
A baroque steeple and later a sanctuary and a side-aisle were attached to the church in the 18th century. The Romanesque style, two-storey structure on the northern side was built in the 13th century and served as the burial place of the Ratot family. In its lower, original part an exhibition of stonework can be found.
