The Church of St. Florian fits perfectly into the idea of architecture which goes beyond the more or less creative imitation of old styles. The designer was looking for the architecture that would emanate spirituality and resist the progressing industrialization, which distracted man from non-material values. The beauty of Gothic architecture and its inner harmony was to be the opposite of the ugliness and chaos of the industrial world.
