St. Barbarakirche, Parish church in Bärnbach, Austria.
The exterior walls display multicolored patterns, irregular shapes, and twelve archways representing different religious beliefs through architectural elements and symbols.
Originally constructed in 1950, the church building underwent substantial transformation between 1987 and 1988 under the direction of artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
The church features distinctive architectural elements including a clock tower with missing numbers on one side and green spheres mounted on the roof.
Visitors can explore the grounds surrounding the church, which include twelve gates dedicated to various world religions, forming an educational path.
The church structure incorporates natural materials and curved lines throughout its design, eschewing traditional straight lines in religious architecture.
