This beautiful minimalist church named ‘Church of the Holy Cross’ is located in the small town of Jyllinge in Denmark.
According to the designers, Danish architectural firm KHR, the building was inspired by the natural landscape and the cultural heritage of the town, with features such as the steep incline of the building face influenced by the nearby fjord, and the fishing net used inside as a space divider.
The fresh and pure looking white-dominated church also features large windows that connect to an outdoor amphitheater.
