Built in 1959 in Birsfelden, Switzerland, the Roman-Catholic Church Brother Klaus is a striking example of brutalist architecture designed by Hermann Baur. Constructed entirely of concrete, the church exemplifies the bold, sculptural approach characteristic of brutalism, with its raw material expressing structural form. Recognized as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance, the building stands as an important work of post-war religious architecture in Switzerland.
