Saint-Nicolas Church in Hérémence, Switzerland, is a Catholic parish church completed in 1971 and designed by Swiss architect Walter Maria Förderer. Built in the brutalist style using exposed concrete and wood, the structure exemplifies the stark geometric forms and raw materiality characteristic of mid-century modernism. Recognized as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance, the church stands as a notable example of Förderer's architectural vision during the period of his most innovative work.
