Saint Benedict Chapel

The church's contour resembles a water droplet, its facade clad in overlapping wooden shingles. Over time, sunlight and rainwater gradually transform the shingles' hues: those facing south turn golden yellow, while those on the north side darken into deep hues. This metamorphosis reveals the profound imprint of time and light upon the architecture.
