Jacob's Ladder Church, Brutalist church in Kobylisy, Czech Republic
Jacob's Ladder Church features raw concrete forms and rectangular shapes, with strong geometrical patterns throughout its architectural composition and clear structural elements.
The religious building opened its doors to worshippers on June 6, 1971, marking a significant addition to the architectural landscape of the Kobylisy district.
The name derives from the biblical narrative of Jacob's dream, where he saw angels ascending and descending a ladder connecting earth to heaven.
The church maintains regular operating hours for services and welcomes visitors interested in discovering its architectural and religious elements throughout the week.
Swiss architect Ernst Gisel designed this concrete structure to merge modern architectural principles with religious symbolism through its geometric patterns.
