Queen's Cross Church is essential for anyone following Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow. It is the only church he completed, and its restrained exterior, asymmetrical tower, and carefully handled interior details show a different side of his work from the tea rooms and domestic commissions.
The building now serves as the home of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society, so it is both a heritage site and an interpretation point for his architecture. Check opening times before going, as the experience depends on access to the interior rather than a quick look from the street.
