Gottfried Böhm's Pilgrimage Church Neviges (1968) in Velbert is one of the most powerful Sacred Brutalist buildings in Europe. Its faceted concrete mass rises from the hillside like a crystalline rock formation — a monumental interior space lit from above that combines raw material force with spiritual transcendence.
