    The "Atonement Church of the Precious Blood" in Bergen was built in 1961 as a Catholic memorial church. It was created on the initiative of Hildesheim Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen as a place of repentance, reconciliation, and prayer. The church is intended to commemorate the immeasurable suffering and guilt associated with the crimes of National Socialism. Architecturally, it is deliberately symbolic: the main structure resembles a chalice, opening toward the former Bergen-Belsen camp, and the tower resembles a warning finger. Inside the church is an impressive figure of the bound Christ, representing the suffering of the victims.
