Evangelical chapel in Kořenov, Modernist chapel in Kořenov, Czechia.
The Evangelical chapel in Kořenov is a concrete and stone structure with clean lines and functional forms. Large windows flood the interior with natural light and define its outward appearance.
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 served the German-speaking Protestant community of the area and reflects their presence in this mountain region.
The chapel stands near the evangelical cemetery and is accessible via the Liberec-Szklarska Poręba railway line. Religious services take place regularly, making it a good destination to visit during standard opening hours.
Bartning was a pioneer who designed hundreds of churches in his innovative style throughout his career, and Kořenov was one of his early examples. This chapel shows how his approach later became his hallmark.
