Cyncoed Methodist Church is a listed place of worship in the suburb of Cyncoed in Cardiff, Wales. Organisationally, it is in the East cluster of the Cardiff Methodist Circuit.[1]
The church was built in 1966 and was designed by Alex Gordon, who was to become a prominent architect in south Wales.[2][3] The building is in the International Modern style that was pioneered by Mies van der Rohe, and is a rectilinear design in glass and buff-coloured brick. The foundation stone was laid on 20 November 1965, and the church was dedicated the following September. A large extension was built to the rear of the church in 1992. The church gained listed status in 2001, with the listing giving as a reason: As an individually accomplished design, Cyncoed Methodist Church helps to define the architectural standard for post-war religious buildings in Wales.[4]
