Facts and practical information

The Bruder-Klaus-Kirche Winkeln is the Catholic church of the St. Gallen neighborhood of Winkeln. It was built between 1958 and 1959 and is dedicated to St. Brother Klaus. The architectural style is extremely modern. The architects were Ernest Brantschen and Alfons Weisser from St. Gallen. The extremely complicated calculation of the landmark of the church, the column-free concrete roof, was done by Heinz Hossdorf from Basel. Because of the strange shape of the roof, the church is also popularly known as the soul launching ramp.
