Description
The Església Nova is an unfinished Neo-Gothic church in the small village of Biniamar, Mallorca.
A building with history frozen in time
The Església Nova — the "New Church" of Biniamar — was begun in 1910 and never completed. Its most striking feature is the Neo-Gothic façade, which makes the structure an architecturally remarkable sight despite its unfinished state. What it lacks is a roof — and it is precisely this that gives the place its distinctive, one-of-a-kind character.
A cultural hub rather than a silent ruin
The building is far from abandoned: it serves the village as a cultural and community gathering place. This dual role — unfinished listed monument and lively local meeting point — makes the Església Nova far more than just another sight to tick off.
Where to find it
The church stands at Carrer Sant Pau 5 in the heart of Biniamar, a small inland village in the Mallorcan countryside.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Església Nova really without a roof?
Yes — the construction was never completed and a roof was never added. This makes the interior an unusually open and atmospheric experience.
When was the church built?
The church was begun in 1910 but was left unfinished and remains roofless to this day.
Can you visit the inside of the church?
The building is used today as a cultural and community meeting place rather than a cordoned-off monument, so a visit inside is well worth your while.
