Wrexham Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Wrexham, Wales.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Sorrows features pointed arches, decorative stonework, and Gothic Revival elements designed by architect E.W. Pugin.
This religious building began construction in 1857 to replace an earlier parish chapel on King Street that could not accommodate the growing congregation.
The cathedral functions as the mother church for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wrexham, which oversees 28 parishes across northern Welsh counties.
Located at coordinates 53.0474° N, 2.9986° W, the Grade II listed building stands 87 meters above sea level in the Offa district.
The structure gained its cathedral status in 1987 following a papal bull from Pope John Paul II, establishing the independent Diocese of Wrexham.
