Queen Cross Church is also known as “Mackintosh Church” because of its designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It was completed in September of 1899 and was open immediately as a Protestant Church. Instead of a tall cathedral type of design, Mackintosh went with a design more like a Norman Castle, or modern gothic. The church decommissioned in the 1970s and is now used as a tourist attraction called the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society.
