St Dochdwy's Church, Medieval church in Llandough, Wales.

The limestone church features a central doorway with stone jambs, a slated roof, and a bellcote containing two bells at the western end.

The original structure from the 14th century underwent restoration in 1869 by architect Charles Buckeridge, who trained under Sir George Gilbert Scott.

The church holds a brass inscription from 1426 depicting Walter Moreton's wife, who served as constable of Cardiff during medieval times.

The building stands on elevated ground at the junction of Llandough Hill, Penlan Road, and Leckwith Road, offering views across Cardiff Bay.

Archaeological excavations in 1994 revealed a large cemetery with burials dating from 370 AD to 1024 AD, confirming early Celtic Christian presence.
