The first church made with live trees

Making wooden cabins could be an obligatory activity in the childhood of any infant.Many are the little ones who have dedicated a large part of the afternoons and weekends to collect materials and build a shelter, without having to have a instruction book for this.To finish corroborating it, in this Lifestyle entry we talk about how a church with live trees was built, nothing more, nothing less! Do not miss it!

A church built from live trees

Barry Cox , decided to build a church with live trees, as expressed: “I left home through the back door and I thought: that place needs a church,” so Cox began building the building with trees in April 2011.The location was near Cambridge, in New Zealand, the same location where it I record the famous triology of "The Lord of the Rings."

To begin with, the walls were created with an Australian tea tree , thanks to its thick foliage and its color that is similar to that of the stone, I recreate the environment that the space required.The interior of the church was decorated by a lot of trees and flowers , like birches, roses and camellias.For about 4 years, Barry Coz ​​managed to make his dream come true and today he can boast a live church, which breathes and continues to grow, with capacity for more than 100 people.

Barry's main idea was to reserve the church for his own use , have a secluded and quiet place to meditate, but I can not resist the request of his nephew who asked permission to marry in the tree church.Then, other relatives, friends and partners outside they enjoyed this temple for a few minutes, so the artist decided to give in to the proposals and end up opening the church to the public .He has even created a website to present it.

And you? What do you think of this story? Would you create a house or any other building with trees? If you found it interesting, you can also read «The most terrifying churches in the world».
