St Cybi's Church, Medieval parish church in Llangybi, United Kingdom
St Cybi's Church is a stone building with a two-story west tower situated on slightly elevated ground and showing architectural elements from different construction periods. The structure consists of several sections that were added or altered over different eras.
The building dates from the early 14th century and was substantially enlarged and improved in the 15th century. Major restoration work took place in the early 20th century.
The medieval paintings on the interior walls show religious scenes and the Creed that were hidden under whitewash for centuries. These rediscovered artworks offer insight into the spiritual environment that worshippers experienced in earlier times.
The location is easily accessible on foot and welcomes visitors interested in religious and architectural history. The building remains open for visits and functions as part of a local ministry area.
A grave in the churchyard connects to a 19th-century criminal case that involved an entire family and generated significant public attention. This historical connection ties the place to a dramatic chapter in the local past.
