Bangor Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Bangor, Wales
The cathedral features Gothic architecture with a 17.5-meter elevation, incorporating local rock materials and containing detailed stone carvings throughout its structure.
Founded in 501 AD as a monastic settlement by Saint Deiniol, the cathedral underwent multiple reconstructions, including significant renovations by architect George Gilbert Scott in 1868.
The cathedral maintains Welsh religious traditions through regular services in both Welsh and English languages, continuing centuries-old worship practices.
Located in central Bangor, the cathedral opens daily for visitors, offering guided tours that explain its architectural elements and religious significance.
The cathedral tower project remained incomplete when cracks appeared during construction, leading to a modification of the original architectural plans.
