St John the Baptist's Church, Gothic Revival church in Old Colwyn, Wales.
The stone church displays pointed arches, ornate windows, and a tower that reaches 21.9 meters into the Welsh sky.
John Douglas designed this Grade II* listed religious building, which opened its doors to worshippers in 1912 as part of Welsh architectural development.
The structure, known in Welsh as Eglwys Sant Ioan Fedyddiwr, represents the strong connection between religious heritage and local Welsh identity.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural features throughout the week.
Each stone detail of the building required approval from conservation authorities to maintain its Grade II* listed status and historical authenticity.
