Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church

A significant landmark of Glasgow is the Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church, opened in 1876. The building is built in Gothic style. Its stunning architecture is modelled on Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.

Two high towers with spires are decorated with buttresses. Above the main entrance there is a large round window, generously decorated with openwork carvings. Around the perimeter of the building there are high stained glass windows illustrating various events from the life of Christ. It amazes with its beauty the magnificent decoration of the church hall. A wide nave with massive columns is intertwined with arched openings. Ancient paintings and sculptures adorn the interior of the temple. A high marble altar is surrounded by the faces of saints.

On the territory of the temple opened a parish school. This church is a unique monument of architecture and is very popular among tourists.
