This was the last of the Holy Brutes in Switzerland we visited. This one is in Chur, Switzerland, designed by architect Walter Maria Förderer and completed between 1966 and 1969. It has the same architectural language of Förderer's other churches (and it's cool that so many communities in Switzerland wanted one of thee babies!). The courtyard is gorgeous as is the delicious combination of concrete and wood. This one seemed to fuse the cement and wood more than the other churches with one growing out of the other at the same time. A few statues connect the space to the past, but the future beckons at every surprising turn, just like life.
