Die hässlichste Kirche, die ich je erlebt habe…
Könnte sich auch um eine Tiefgarage handeln.

Magnifique basilique par son architecture et les énergies qu'on y ressent. Propice à la méditation et à la prière... Que vous soyez religieux ou pas c'est un lieu à ne pas manquer...

Interesting place, a huge concrete cavern under, in a "brutalist" style. Usually open during tgd day. Worth looking in.
