Gellertkirche, Modern concrete church in Basel, Switzerland.
The Gellertkirche features a nine-sided floor plan with a copper roof and a 40-meter bell tower containing three bronze bells.
Kurt Peter Blumer designed this Protestant Reformed church in 1964 after winning an architectural competition for the project in Basel.
The church structure draws inspiration from North American Indigenous peoples' Tipi tents, incorporating geometric principles such as the Golden Ratio.
The building includes basement and ground floor spaces for community activities, with extensions added in 2007 and 2008 to meet growing needs.
An Italian chest organ built by Giovanni Pradella in 2011 accompanies the main organ, which features 20 registers across two manuals and pedal.
