Sigurd Lewerentz loved the raw material, which is why iron beams
and the cross was to be laid out "rain or shine" before they were
brushed off.
Lewerentz uses bricks from Helsingborg, everywhere, for the
exterior and interior walls, the floor, the ceiling, the altar and the
pulpit.
The hard-burned treatment gives the bricks a dark finish.
This dark color really shapes the atmosphere of the church room, it’s
a space with a warm feeling that embraces you.
Lewerentz cared a lot about his bricks and set up a rule before the
building process begun:
No bricks shall be cut!
