The Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas is tucked away just at the top of Bute Street. It was built in 1906 in the Byzantine style, to accommodate the influx of Greek seamen travelling to the then-thriving Cardiff Docks. In fact, it is one of the very few churches in the UK built as an Orthodox church.
The church interior is very beautiful. There is a carved icon screen and wall paintings depicting scenes from the life of Christ and also St Nicholas.
During the open day, the church will be open to visitors.
Literature available.
Guided tours.
Activities for children.

This date coincides with the open day at St Mary's Church, Bute Street, as the churches are next to one another.
