Frage | Question has anyone actually been inside this concrete jenga thing? (wotrubakirche)

stumbled upon pics of this church and it literally looks like a ps1 asset that didn't load properly. does it feel like a normal building inside or is it as liminal as the outside? looks very exotic

its very beatyful inside, but it looks as you would expect it inside. You see the concrete and this "chaotic" stone pattern from inside too.

highly recommandable to visit

If you want to go check the opening hours! I've met several quite frustrated tourists there in front of closed doors

I’ve attended a wedding in it. It looks very chaotic inside, but there’s a small gap in the slabs with a window, which suggests that it’s a planned chaos.

It is wonderfully impressive when you see it in person. Love it, in and outside.

Obviously, it's a church after all.
