St Asaph Cathedral, Flintshire

St Asaph Cathedral (Cathedral Church of Saints Asaph and Cyndeyrn) is an Anglican cathedral in St Asaph, Flintshire. It is the episcopal seat of the Bishop of St Asaph. A church was originally built on or near the site by Saint Kentigern in the 6th century. The earliest parts of the present building date from the 13th century after the original stone cathedral was burnt by soldiers of Edward I. The cathedral was reduced to a ruin during the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr. It was largely built in the reign of Henry Tudor and greatly restored in the 19th century. It is within the council area of Denbighshire.
