Roofless Church

Open-air Philip Johnson church built around the shared roof of the sky.

The Roofless Church is a walled open-air sanctuary designed by Philip Johnson in 1960. Its central idea is simple and memorable: all faiths share the sky as a roof.

The space is quiet rather than grand. Brick walls, garden planting, gates, and sculpture make it feel like a pause in the town's utopian story, not a separate attraction pasted onto it.
