architecture

The church building is an octagonal building with an inscribed cross. The four entrances and the central altar emphasize the cross shape. Since the parish hall, which is glazed all around, is located under the church, the volume appears to be almost floating. This is emphasized by the ribbed exposed concrete surface. A parsonage and a monastery of the Order of the Cross are attached to the church, which can be reached via one of the four entrances.
