Gottfried Böhm Mary Queen of Peace Neviges

The Pilgrimage Church of Mary, Queen of Peace, in Neviges (North Rhine-Westphalia), is regarded as Pritzker Prize winner Gottfried Böhm's most important work. It is also considered a key example of 1960s sculptural architecture and an epochal contribution to twentieth-century church construction in the Catholic tradition. As a building, the church was a worldwide sensation, but what is less well known is that it was conceived of as the crowning work of an entire pilgrimage district.
