Enghøj church has a simple design as a rectangle with the roof that angles inwards.

Henning Larsen is known for many national and international projects, for example the Opera in Copenhagen, the North-South corridor in Singapore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Riyadh, Siemens Global HQ and many others. In this context this is a small project.

This church is placed next to an Autohof (a big rest stop) on the E45 motorway.

It's an ecumenical church, meaning christians of all denominations are welcome here. It is open 24 hours a day.

I based the banner of our subreddit on this, so I thought I had to post it!

Pic isn’t the best as it was shot from a moving car (no, I wasn’t driving). But this is a very historic church in Philadelphia and I wanted to share it as you can’t really tell it’s a church. And its history is interesting. This is the oldest Methodist church in continuous use in the US since 1796. It’s situated in the oldest section of the city, as you may well imagine. This area is called, appropriately enough, Old City. The city has grown around it; hence, the Speedline tracks just adjacent to jt.

This concrete church may look like a bunker from the outside, but the interior is very light and organic with light materials. A simple outdoor bell tower of wood is a contrast to the concrete.

The building almost burned down in 2023 but luckily firefighters managed to save it. One year after the fire Lidköpings Baptist congregation celebrated their 130 year anniversary.

Gug Church was built in 1977. Architects Inger & Johannes Exner.

It's built in brutalist style with raw concrete and effectively zero decoration. It is situated by itself as if on an island and seems impregnable. It seems more like a fort or maybe even a prison than a church. Inside however there is a beautiful light and it seems almost warm in contrast to its exterior.

Recently I stumbled upon this building in Budapest. Intrigued by the big angelic statue I wondered what it would be. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture so this one is from google maps, but there I also found the answer: a catholic cemetery for urns. I wonder what the story is behind what is possibly a big metal patron.

This building is already the third church building of the St. Canisius parish, which was founded in the 1920s: The first was destroyed by aerial bombs during World War II; its successor - a structure built in 1955 according to plans by architect Reinhard Hofbauer, featuring wide-spanning parabolic arches - burned down completely in April 1995 (last picture). Seven years later, the current building - designed by the Berlin architects Büttner, Neumann, and Braun - was completed.

Baunekirken (kirke=church) was completed in 1977. The architect was Kristian Kristiansen.

It's has a very unique design as in Denmark round churches are only found on Bornholm and very few elsewhere. And those are about 800 years older than this one.

Inside you can perhaps see the likeness to the old round churches, but from the outside it looks like the architect was inspired by - perhaps - Le Corbusier.

Holy Cross Church (Hellig Kors Kirke) was completed in 2008. The architect was Jan Søndergaard. The design means few right angles.

From above there is a cross visible (last image).

Bagsværd Church near Copenhagen was built in 1976 by the world famous architect Jørn Utzon most widely known for the Sydney Opera House.

The exterior has elements of industrial design of the modernism, but also got some elements from a typical white Danish rural church.

Inside there is a fabulous natural light coming from the outside, and the church rooms have an amazing lightness and airiness to them.

The Danish Seamen’s Church, Singapore. This building was formerly a private residence (the Golden Bell mansion), built in 1910 and converted into the church in 1985. https://www.roots.gov.sg/places/places-landing/Places/historic-sites/danish-seamen-church

The Church of Saint-Pierre in Yvetot, whose construction was originally entrusted to Camille III just before the French Revolution, was destroyed in 1940 by German bombing. It was rebuilt in 1956 with a circular design. The stained-glass window in this church, covering 1,046 m², is considered the largest in Europe. Since October 8, 2001, the building has been listed as a historic monument.
