  • Buchs SG, Switzerland, Show on map

  • The campanile draws attention to the church from afar. The tower and the church building itself are made up of exposed concrete cubic shapes, some of which are covered with a copper sheet. 

  • Heritage protected. Originally exposed concrete painted today.

    This building was included in the red list, published in our exhibition catalog SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey (September 2017). After a status review on February 4, 2019, it was reclassified in the online database from red (endangered) to blue (saved).
