The Lord's Ark Church of Kraków, Modern concrete church in Nowa Huta district, Kraków, Poland
The Lord's Ark Church features an angular sloping roof design and a 70-meter-high mast shaped like a crowned cross on its exterior.
Construction began in 1967 after years of protests against Communist authorities, with residents and volunteers working for a decade until its completion in 1977.
The church interior displays maritime elements through wooden surfaces resembling a boat hull, centered around an 8-meter-tall crucifix by Bronisław Chromy.
Located at Obrońców Krzyża 1, the church provides access for people with disabilities and stands near the Polish Aviation Museum and Schindler's Factory.
The tabernacle contains a rutile crystal brought from the Moon by Apollo 11 astronauts, connecting Earth's religious architecture with space exploration.
