St Teilo's Church, Medieval church at St Fagans National Museum of History, Wales.
The stone building features a nave, chancel, and south aisle, with carved roof timbers displaying fifteenth-century architectural techniques and design patterns.
Built in the late 12th century at Llandeilo Tal-y-bont, the church was dismantled in 1984 and reconstructed at St Fagans National Museum of History in 2007.
The interior walls contain medieval paintings uncovered during relocation, illustrating biblical stories and saints for congregations of the sixteenth century.
The church opens daily as part of St Fagans National Museum of History, allowing visitors to examine medieval architectural elements and religious artifacts.
The structure represents the first complete church building relocated to a British open-air museum, preserving its original medieval features and construction methods.

Wales features a region with three national parks, including Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire coast park, as well as fortresses like Conwy and Caernarfon castles built by Edward I in the 13th century, and religious buildings such as St. David's Cathedral. The coastline alternates between red sandstone cliffs, sandy beaches, and islands like Anglesey, while the inland reveals mountains, lakes, and valleys such as the Elan Valley with its historic dams. Welsh towns preserve their architectural heritage, with Cardiff as the capital. The Gower Peninsula offers limestone cliffs and sea caves, Tintern Abbey has been a Cistercian monastery since 1131, and Powis Castle features terraced gardens. Former mining regions and botanical sites reflect the country's industrial and cultural evolution.
