[1] The borough is characterized by its wide hilltop views and its interesting (from an art history perspective) St. Laurentius Catholic Church.

A highlight of the old town center is the large park surrounding the Schloss Rahe, the former residence and water fortress of a patrician Aachen-area family, which was refashioned in the 18th century by the businessman Gerhard Heusch into a stately four-wing castle.

On a hill near the church, the site of an ancient Roman era sanctuary, evidenced by the presence of four “god stones”, can be found.

By the 18th century, however, Laurensberg was no longer an independent community, but rather belonged to the City of Aachen, in which it made up a district within the County of Pont.

In Soers, a community in the east of Laurensberg District, the international horse show CHIO Aachen is held every summer.
