St German's Church, Gothic Revival church in Adamsdown, Cardiff, United Kingdom
The nineteenth-century St German's Church features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and a slate-covered spire housing a sanctus bell.
The construction of this Grade I listed building began in 1881 after Lord Tredegar donated the land at the corner of Star and Metal Streets.
The church contains a metal sculpture created by Frank Rope in 1965 depicting the Calvary scene, replacing an earlier stone version destroyed in 1941.
St German's Church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural details, including the William Hill and Sons organ.
The church sanctuary displays the only flying buttresses found in Cardiff, supporting its roof structure with distinct engineering characteristics.
