A solitary chapel in Austria

Made of stone and wood, the little church by bernardo bader architekten sits on top of a hill in Krumbach, Austria.

Like a gem – topographically attractively situated on the hill near Krumbach, Austria, the chapel is built out of wood and stone. Its shape is based on the existing 200-year-old Lourdes chapel and includes a main ship and an apse. The shape of the room is new: an outstanding steep rising spatial folding made out of wood. The view straight ahead through the white apse leads directly into the nature.
