The St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Düsseldorf-Heerdt was originally a World War II high-rise bunker, designed by Philipp Wilhelm Stang in a brutalist style. Since 2015, this heritage-protected structure serves as a Coptic Orthodox place of worship and art venue, famously dubbed the 'most stable church in the world'.
