Evangelical chapel in Kořenov

Evangelical chapel in Kořenov, Modernist chapel in Kořenov, Czechia.

The Evangelical chapel in Kořenov is an octagonal central building on a hill in the Jizera Mountains, topped by a shingled pyramidal roof with a small lantern holding a bell from the vanished church of Dolní Smržovka. Its regularized half-timbered walls, a semicircular sacristy apse and a rounded projecting canopy over the entrance give a four-lobed ground plan.

The building was designed in 1909 by architect Otto Bartning and marked a turning point in Protestant church architecture. The chapel was built when such modern designs were still uncommon across Europe.

The chapel's name comes from the hamlet of Tesařov, called Schenkenhahn in German. Since 1945 it has been cared for by the Moravian Brethren from Tanvald, now part of the Ochranov Seniorate of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. From June to September, ecumenical services are held here every Sunday at ten o'clock.

The chapel stands on a hill in the Jizera Mountains, with the cemetery beside it; tall trees were felled there in 2000, so it is visible from afar. Ecumenical services are held on Sundays at ten from June to September. A tourist stamp and a tourist card featuring the chapel are available for visitors.

The chapel's design was reused twice: in 1911/12 for the Heilandskirche in Krems an der Donau, and in 1931 for a larger copy in Dornbirn, where Pommer had become pastor. In the Dornbirn version Bartning moved the pulpit to the centre of the room instead of the pulpit altar.
