Nidos Švč. Mergelės Marijos bažnyčia, Lithuania.
Architects: Ričardas Krištapavičius, Algimantas Zaviša. 2003
An original and functional Church building has harmoniously intervened into the local landscape. The Church is rectangular, single-nave, with a triangular plan presbytery and a vestry wing. Simple exterior forms, walls battened with dark oak planks, and a span roof covered with reed match to the old seaside fishermen houses.
The Church spire has become a new focus of the landscape visible from all sides of the town Nida. Four leaning poles reclined against the walls “cross” the internal space of the Church – the extension of the tower structure. The Church looks small from the outside, but it surprises by its huge area inside: the interior is amply suffused with natural light, since the biggest part of the construction’s walls are made of transparent glass.
