A Czech town is building a new, ultra-modern church using 3D printed materials. Locals say it's something of a miracle and that the building will also be used for community events.

A church is taking shape in Neratovice in the Czech Republic — but it is not being built, it is being 3D‑printed. It is the first house of worship of this size made using concrete printing technology. In a town shaped by communism and decades without a church, a growing congregation hopes the minimalist, high‑tech building will serve both religious and secular needs.
