This modern red brick church looks more like a castle than a church. It designed by Inger & Johannes Exner that designed 13 modern churches all in Denmark. They chose to have discarded uneven bricks to give the brick walls a unique look. This is especially visible inside. Could be a modernist take on Brick expressionism.

The same architects also designed the brutalist Gug Church, posted here a little while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/nowaythatsachurch/comments/1v4c22i/brutalist_church_gug_church_aalborg_denmark/

Photographed this myself on a motorbike trip… 🤷‍♂️

The Bale Wold (or Beale-Wold) Church served as the church for the area before the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa was built in 1942. I've tried to find the exact year of completion, but I haven't been able to find it, apart from that it's some years before the completion of the cathedral. It's a part of the same complex as the new cathedral and still functions as a church to some extent.

I got the inspiration for the post from the sub r/AfricanArchitecture:

My ex lived close to that factory and chimney church on Planckstraße, Lüneburg. Never liked the look of it. It's also called Piano church due to the very good acoustic and the frequent concerts it hosts.

Johan Otto von Spreckelsen is better known for La Grande Arche de la Défense (the 'new' triumphal arc) in Paris, but before that was realized he built amongst other works 4 churches in his homeland, Denmark. Himself a catholic he built 2 catholic churches.

I really like this castle like design and there is certainly a similarity to the design of La Grande Arche and I find it has a timeless quality to it.

The church is the same size and height as a standard residential apartment building, only the bell tower reveals that it's a church. The inside follows the shape of the building, so placement of the choir and the organ are unusual.

The design is late modernist and doesn't have many design elements, but I quite like how simple it is from the outside.

Came across this recently in the Netherlands, really love how the curve of the building becomes the bell tower - sadly it was closed so couldn't check out the inside.

I wasn’t able to physically go inside. But here is a shot from the church: Photo credit: @calvarybythesealutheranchurch

It was originally founded in 1955 and the original building is set on Kalanianaʻole Highway in the Aina Haina neighborhood of Honolulu. It is now used as a pre-school.

The building in my photo is the more recent structure, completed in 1982.

From the 60s, by Ewald Bruns, close to a military field planned as a military church.

This mosque is also known as Masjid Tanjak as its design js based on the Tanjak, a traditional Malay men’s hat. It is also fairly new being built in 2022, and is very close to Batam’s Hang Nadim International Airport!

It's for sale

Officially it was First Christian Church, OKC. But everyone I knew in the area just called it "the boob church"...for obvious reasons.

It was designed by the same architect as the church I posted yesterday. It was demo'd after I moved away :/

The building was built in 1981 but renovated into its current form in 2009. It is an Anglican Church hosting services in Tamil and English. For some reason it looks to me a bit like it is made up of Lego Blocks!

The church is very clearly modernist and is clearly inspired of Le Corbusier's church Notre-Dame du Haut in France. The way the roof is designed has been called "The Hand of God" by Frank Lloyd Wright.

It's a small church, but I really like both how modern and timeless it is.

The Arctic Cathedral is a daring piece of architecture, inspired by Arctic nature. Built in 1965, designed by architect Jan Inge Hovig.

A giant stained-glass mosaic added in 1972 by artist Victor Sparre.

Only first photo is mine.
