Llandaff Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship since the time of St Teilo in the 6th century, as evidenced by early pillar crosses in the south aisle.

The present building, built on the site of an earlier church, dates from about 1120. It was extended and modified several times in the Middle Ages. By the early 18th century, it had suffered severe damage and was effectively reconstructed by John Wood.
The cathedral was badly damaged by a landmine in 1941 and after the war the building was refurbished by George Pace. Sir Jacob Epstein designed the statue of Christ in Majesty above the nave. The cathedral is also home to Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s triptych Seed of David.
The cathedral is the starting point for the Penrhys Pilgrimage Way, a medieval pilgrimage route rich in history.

Adeiladwyd yr eglwys hon yn 1883-6 gan y pensaer J Prichard. Ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd adeiladu eglwys ar ffurf croes, ond daeth yn amlwg bod hyn yn rhy uchelgeisiol - ac adeiladwyd tair cilfach cyntaf corff yr eglwys yn unig.

Mae gwaith y pensaer John Coates Carter yn gyfrinach sydd wedi ei chadw’n ddiogel. Mae ei adeiladau’n ymgorffori y Mudiad Celfyddyd a Chrefft ar ddechrau’r ugeinfed ganrif – a dywedir bod eglwys St Paul ymhlith y gorau o’i eglwysi cynnar sydd wedi goroesi.

Anaml iawn y gwelwch yng Nghymru eglwys sydd â chladin pren gwyn – ac mae gan yr Eglwys Norwyaidd stori unigryw i’w hadrodd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad ag un o hoff awduron plant y byd: Roald Dahl.
