Queen's Cross Church, Art Nouveau church building in Glasgow, Scotland

The Queen's Cross Church features red Locharbriggs stone construction with a square tower at the intersection of Garscube Road and Springbank Street.

The Free Church of St Matthew commissioned the architectural firm Honeyman and Keppie to design this church in 1896, with Charles Rennie Mackintosh as lead architect.

The interior layout represents a shift in Presbyterian design, replacing the central pulpit with a raised communion table within a dedicated chancel area.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society operates the church as a tourist attraction, offering exhibitions and facilities in the adjacent parish hall.

This structure stands as the only completed church design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, incorporating elements inspired by medieval Somerset architecture.
