Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Gwynedd is a beautiful county in Wales, known for its stunning mountains and coastline. All across Gwynedd, you can find many churches and chapels. These buildings are important places where people gather for worship and community events. This article will tell you about some of the churches in Gwynedd, both those that are still active today and some that are no longer used.

Churches You Can Visit Today

Most communities in Gwynedd have active churches. The only place that might not have any active churches is Llanfrothen, though Saint Brothen's Church still holds services sometimes.

It's a bit tricky to find a full list of all active churches, especially for some groups like the Union of Welsh Independents. However, we know that Gwynedd has a good number of churches for its population. There are about 243 to 338 active churches for around 123,600 people. This means there's roughly one church for every 366 to 509 people!

Here is a list of some of the active churches in Gwynedd:
