Beschreibung
The church is open daily from 09:00 - 17:00.
The church, dedicated to the martyr Laurentius, is situated on the castle hill between Glenner and Valser Rhine and can be seen from afar. The castle has disappeared. Only the keep still stands and has served as the church tower for the church built in 1515.
Hans Jakob Greutter, a painter from South Tyrol who also worked in neighboring Uors, was commissioned to paint a protective Madonna (3) in the left side chapel in 1630. She is surrounded by the 15 medallions (4) with the mysteries of the rosary. This depiction shows the influence of the Dominicans, who were particularly active during the Counter-Reformation. In the right-hand side chapel, an unknown painter has immortalized Mary with her dead son in her arms as Mater Dolorosa (5).
The 14 Stations of the Cross (6), which can be seen in elaborately carved rocaille frames on both nave walls, are a special decoration. Surprisingly, the pictures were explained in German.The graceful high altar from the 17th century offers space for three figures: the angel of the Annunciation Gabriel on the left, Mary on the right and the church's patron saint Laurentius in the middle above. Barely recognizable as a crowning glory at the top is the Risen Christ with a banner.
Don't miss the small cemetery on the church plateau (7). Since the separation from the valley church in Pleif in 1528, the dead of Tersnaus, Camuns and Surcasti have been buried here.

A place of magic
The rocky outcrop on which the Sogn Luregn church stands is a powerful place, ideal for bringing the body into balance. The energy of the water and the rushing sound can be felt and heard right up to the church. The Glogn develops a lot of life-giving energy through its free flow. This power is particularly pronounced at the Sogn Luregn church. Powerful energies can also be felt in the church.
