Crown Buildings, Government building in Cathays Park, Cardiff, United Kingdom
Crown Buildings consists of two interconnected structures, Cathays Park 1 and Cathays Park 2, linked by elevated walkways in central Cardiff.
Construction began in 1914 for Welsh Government offices, but the project paused for twenty years until completion between 1934 and 1938.
The complex represents Welsh administrative heritage through its architectural elements, combining neoclassical design with modern office functionality.
The five-story Cathays Park 2 section includes 34,305 square meters of office space and contains an underground parking facility.
Staff members report unexplained sensations while crossing the sky bridge that connects the two sections of the building complex.
