Wellington Church

Wellington Church serves as the parish church of the Church of Scotland in the Hillhead area of Glasgow, Scotland. The church is located opposite the University of Glasgow. The author of the project is the architect Thomas Watson Lennox, who built this temple in 1883-1884 by order of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The remarkable exterior of Wellington Church is represented primarily by an exquisite neoclassical portico. It is complemented by a colonnade of Corinthian columns, copying the style of an ancient Greek temple. It was on this neoclassical exterior that the United Presbyterian Church insisted, while in this era temples were built mainly in neo-Gothic.

The first church of the United Presbyterian Church was on Wellington Street, in the centre of Glasgow. But when the congregation became crowded in the small church, it was decided to move to a new building at the corner of Southpark Avenue and University Avenue. And the name is still the same.

Wellington Church is active in the religious and secular life of the nearby University of Glasgow, although it has its own temples. The church often hosts musical and solo concerts, organ music evenings.
