præstebro kirke herlev copenhagen

Inger og Johannes Exner

completed 1969

 

another square church composed

over a diagonal leading from entrance to altar

præstebro kirke lacks the almost brutal rawness of Islev Kirke - also by the Exners - still a beautiful room though when lights are out and the central lantern and the slots along the perimeter wash the yellow brick walls in daylight

 

the Exners were - like many of their contemporaries - great admirers of Sigurd Lewerentz and were later to take their brickwork to similar heights
