St.-Agnes-Kirche, Brutalist church in Kreuzberg, Germany
The concrete St.-Agnes-Kirche features a square bell tower, high skylights, and facade slits that allow natural light to fill the central hall.
Built in 1967 by architect Werner Düttmann, the church served a Catholic parish until 2004 when declining attendance led to its closure.
In 2011, art dealer Johann König transformed the church into an exhibition space, preserving its architectural elements while adapting it for contemporary art displays.
The renovated complex now houses a gallery, offices of New York University Berlin, an architecture firm, private apartments, and a restaurant.
The renovation required 200 tons of concrete and included the addition of a new floor level while maintaining the structure's original brutalist character.
Location: Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
