The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Buchs, St. Gallen, is a brutalist structure designed by architect Justus Dahinden. Built in the austere idiom characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Swiss modernism, the church exemplifies the bold massing and raw concrete forms favored by brutalist practitioners. Designated a class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance, it stands as a notable example of how this architectural language was applied to religious commissions in Switzerland during that era.
