St. John's Abbey Church at Dusk

The iconic St. John's Abbey Church, designed by Marcel Breuer, located at one of the largest Benedictine abbeys in the Western Hemisphere. The first thing you see, even from a distance, is the massive bell banner. It rises above the trees as a striking monument that announces the abbey church behind it as well as the largest stained glass window in the world. Rather than hiding the bells inside a tower, Breuer suspended them in an open void within the bold concrete form—a dramatic play of positive and negative space.
