Pfarrkirche hl. Barbara
Austria
Walk along the Piberstraße through the middle of Bärnbach and the tower stops you first: a gilded onion dome on the south side of the nave, catching the light above a small park. Come closer and the walls turn into a patchwork of coloured renders and bright ceramic pieces, and a ring of twelve archways gathers the whole building in. Everyone here calls it the Hundertwasserkirche, but its formal name is the parish church of St Barbara, and underneath the colour is something much plainer: a modest post-war church that local people largely built with their own hands.
