Las Iglesias más extrañas del mundo

If you are looking for modular ecclesiology, visit this temporary structure in the Netherlands. It's built not out of LEGO bricks, but Legioblocks — concrete blocks made to resemble LEGO bricks. Michiel de Wit and Filip Jonker erected it for the Grenswerk Festival in the city of Enschede.
Located on the outskirts of Bergamo, at the foot of Monte Arena, the Tree cathedral, created by Italian artist Giuliano Mauri, is one of the world's most impressive examples of organic architecture. In 2001, his love for nature inspired him to draw up the plans for a project that took his art to a whole new level and left the people of Bergamo stunned – a cathedral made only of trees. Unfortunately, Mauri died unexpectedly in 2009 and never got to see his grand plan come to life, but as an homage to his life's work, the project was initiated in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity.
The Sedlec Ossuary is nothing spectacular on the outside. It is a small chapel located in Sedlec, in the suburbs of Kutna Hora, in the Czech Republic. You would think that it is just an average old medieval gothic church. As you enter the Sedlec Ossuary though, you will soon realize why it is one of the most amazing and unique churches in the world: it is artistically decorated by more than 40,000 human skeletons. Thus, it is also known as the Church of Bones, or as the Bone Church. One of the most fascinating artistic works inside the Sedlec Ossuary is the big chandelier of bones that lies in the center of the church. The immense chandelier contains at least one of every human bone.

This snow church was built, in 2011, in the Bavarian forest by the villagers of Mitterfirmiansreut, Germany. Located close to the Czech border, the church is bathed in a beautiful blue light. It was opened to the public on December 28, 2011, blessed by Dean Kajetan Steinbeisser
This Church Tank by artist Chris Kuksi sort of sends a mixed message. Unless it's some sort of modern update on the Crusades, the church is generally a place of peace these days. But I guess that's exactly his point.
Meet the Transparante Kerk — an inflatable church in the Netherlands that pops up on demand. The brainchild of self-proclaimed philosopher Frank Los, the Transparante Kerk, or Transparent Church, measures 5 by 6 by 8 meters, including steeple, according to the Goedgelovig blog.

This stunning church, designed by Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh, lets in the sunlight with a transparent design. Located in the Belgian region of Haspengouw, the church is part of a long-term art installation called Z-OUT which aims to place unexpected structures in public places in the Netherlands over the next five years. It's made up of 100 stacked layers and 2000 columns of steel plates, and the church can look totally solid, or seem to disappear entirely, depending on your viewpoint.
Cross Island Chapel,
It looks a bit crazy, but it seems that there is a widespread idea in Russia to organize Orthodox Christian churches in old railway cars. It might seem like it's a modern phenomenon, but a bit of retrospective digging reveals that some of them had already appeared when the railroad itself began in Russia.

Located in the country of Georgia, this unique church on Katskhi pillar sits on top of a rock formation which towers 130 ft high.
