Chapel for a Country Estate and Hunting Lodge

Abstract

Situated in the province of Ciudad Real, on the crest of a hill surrounded by barren countryside, the chapel is part of a small country estate and hunting lodge, which encompasses a manor house, a warden’s residence and trophy pavilion. The secular and the sacred architecture of the “feudal” estate are as extravagant as one another but stand apart, the profane buildings clustered together, the church higher up and to one side; the former rendered snow-white and entirely orthogonal, the latter a matt concrete structure and entirely diagonal.
