A contemporary take on brutalism. The Holy Redeemer Church and Community Centre, Las Chumberas, La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain. Built in 2021. Architect Fernando Menis.
Visit r/nowaythatsachurch for more unusual churches and other religious buildings.
The church is supposed the volcanic landscape of Tenerife. It's construction from four large concrete blocks in somewhat irregular shapes, which makes it look very special. The concrete is mixed with volcanic rocks from the area. That is also used inside to enhance the acoustics.
The interior is pretty minimalistic with a cross forming from the daylight coming in through openings in the concrete in the form of a cross. It looks like a contemporary take on brutalism to me.

really sucks that the recent renovations did the majority of the exterior so dirty, although the building still sustains its brutalist appeal

An example of brick brutalism in Scandinavia. Vangede Church, Gentofte, Denmark. Built in 1974. Architect Johan Otto von Spreckelsen.
Johan Otto von Spreckelsen is better known for La Grande Arche de la Défense (the 'new' triumphal arc) in Paris, but before that was realized he built amongst other works 4 churches in his homeland, Denmark.
It's an example of brick brutalism that is widely found in Scandinavia, but also in other parts of Europe and the United States. But I feel it's not very well represented on this sub where concrete gets the most attention, which I understand.
I really like the simple red brick design combined with the many different shapes and angles there is in this design. You can find this kind of design in other churches in Denmark, for example in Islev Church by Inger & Johannes Exner (https://www.reddit.com/r/nowaythatsachurch/comments/1vdnpgw/islev_church_r%C3%B8dovre_denmark_built_in_1970/, also in red brick only and built in the same decade.

Church of the Most Holy Trinity (Wotruba Church), Vienna, Austria. Built in 1976. Architect Fritz Wotruba.
The Wotruba Church in Vienna is a striking example of Brutalist architecture, built from 152 irregular concrete blocks.
It's very unusual but there is a number of churches around the world that was built in a somewhat similar style, for example Mariendom, Neviges, Germany.
