Govan Old Parish Church, Medieval church building in Govan, Scotland
The stone church features red sandstone walls, Gothic Revival architecture, and stained glass windows designed by multiple nineteenth-century craftsmen.
Dating from the fifth century, the religious site evolved through centuries until the current structure was completed in 1888 by architect Robert Rowand Anderson.
The church houses the Govan Stones collection, comprising thirty-one early medieval sculptures from the ninth and tenth centuries with Celtic carvings.
Visitors can access the church from Wednesday to Saturday between June and September, with opening hours from 1 PM to 4 PM.
The site contains five low hogback monuments and a sarcophagus displaying intricate medieval Scottish stonework in the churchyard.
