    Default Ugliset places of worship in Europe

    Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral:



    Munich's (rebuilt) Ohel Jakob synagogue:



    Rijeka's ("Europe's most beautiful") mosque:



    Ronchamp's Notre Dame du Haut:



    Cologne's Central mosque:



    Mainz's (rebuilt) synagogue:


    The original synagogue prior to WWII:


    Some modern churches in Denmark:










    Église Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay




    Reykjavik's Hallgrimskirkja (1937) is not only hideous - it looks absolutely sinister.

    Spoiler!

    Just where is a good dose of TNT when you need it the most. I am a very strong believer in the idea that both beauty and ugliness influence behavior and our ugly surroundings have caused society to decline. In other words: it's time for us to re-discover beauty and thus rebuild our society.




    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Why do they even bother building modernist, brutalist style churches? It's completely anathema to traditional Christianity in Europe.

    I actually really like that church. It's like something out of LoTR.
