architecture
The church, built in 1993, is not very conspicuous in a residential street and at first glance looks like a house, but the tower makes it different from the other houses. The outside of the church itself consists mostly of light gray stone slabs. The elongated windows on the north side are arranged in such a way that they together form a large one, while those on the south side are normal individual windows. The windows on both sides are painted in color.
The tower rises on a rectangular plan next to the church and is connected to it by a small corridor. The white-gray facade has vertical white stripes.
Furnishing
