Our lady of the alps

 


I spotted this odd looking church in Franz Josef named "Our lady of the alps" last time we were there. 

It was dedicated, blessed and opened on December 23rd 1951 and still hold services today.

Linking up with Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

I suppose the shape is taken from the mountains. It's quite lovely really.

Not unlike, in its own small way, a modernist church we saw in Tromso, Norway: The Arctic Cathedral.

My guess is that it is supposed to look like a Mountain since it's "Lady of the Alps"?? I've seen several mountainous places in the States that have mottos like for instance "Switzerland of Oregon" or whatever state or the Alps of Alaska, that kind of thing. -- do you have anything like that in NZ?
