Queen's Cross Church, Art Nouveau church building in Glasgow, Scotland
Queen's Cross Church is an Art Nouveau church building situated at the intersection of Garscube Road and Springbank Street in Glasgow. The structure features red Locharbriggs stone and is marked by a square tower that anchors the corner of the site.
A Presbyterian congregation commissioned the architectural firm Honeyman and Keppie in 1896 to design this church, with Charles Rennie Mackintosh leading the project. The building embodied architectural ideas of the period and influenced church design thinking in Scotland.
The interior layout breaks from typical Presbyterian churches by placing a raised communion table in a dedicated chancel rather than a central pulpit. This arrangement creates a different visual focus when you walk into the worship space.
The building is now operated by the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society as a visitor destination with exhibitions about the architect's work. The adjacent parish hall provides exhibition space and visitor facilities for those exploring the site.
This is the only completed church design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, making it a singular work in his architectural legacy. The design incorporates elements inspired by medieval architecture from Somerset, showing how he drew from various historical traditions.
