The roofless church built in New Harmony Indiana, in 1960. It was intended as an open air interdenominational church. The building was designed by Philip Johnson, known for his modern, and post-modern architecture.

The Roofless Church is one of a number of interesting features of New Harmony, a unique village in southwest Indiana, originally created by religious order known as the Rappites. They are also known as Harmonists, after the official name of their community, the Harmony Society. Robert Owen, a wealthy industrialist purchased the entire town from the Rappites in 1825, with the goal of creating the ideal Utopia, an experiment that failed within two years. The town also known as the second headquarters of the US Geologic Society, in large part because of Robert Owen.
