St Mary de Castro Church

Beautiful little church and the flower displays at Christmas, Easter and harvest festival are amazing.

A rare look inside St Mary de Castro Church thanks to heritage open Days. So beautiful. I love churches for the history and architecture and some of this building dates back to Norman times. Legend says Richard III would have both worshipped here and that his body rested here prior to its burial at Grey Friars. Recently refurbished (but still missing it's spire which was removed in 2014 when it became unsafe) volunteers on hand were helpful and informative.

Amazing Historical building described as having a example from every part of English Church Architecture"very friendly and knowledgeable staffhidden gem - please make the effort to go and see itsurrounded by some of the historical parts of Leicester"

Lovely historic place of worship, the services are done in what I would consider traditional Church of England style. Sadly this holy building is not supported by a large Christian congregational but, a small sincere group of laity and clergy.Multiculturalism, diversity and the gradual turning against Christianity along with the English losing their identity, all will add up to beautiful churches like this to further decline.Enjoy a visit to St, Mary de Castro church, you will enjoy the peace and history it offers, along with a spiritual and meditative belonging.

Very interesting and beautiful church. Great history and ambience

We came here as it was open to the public as part of the Heritage Sunday open days that Leicester currently run with several local venues to visit on the last Sunday of the month.This church is well worth the visit. It is huge and very beautiful and is almost as large as Leicester cathedral with a lot of history.We didn't have a guide but a kind local pointed out prominent features and told me a little of its history, gorgeous place.

I went in this beautiful church for the first time recently. Magnificent building. Well worth a visit

The most beautiful church in Leicester City!

This church named ST Mary De Castro Church is a medieval origin where, the careful visitor can notice the arch clearly of Romanesque style;today this anglican place of worship has become the episcopal center of Leicester.The entire facade of the church was built at the time,within the confines of the castle.In 1950 it was recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO.In my opinion it is a beautiful and very quiet place and with its millenary history there can be a lot.In this pleasant place, families can spend moments of the true peace because this quiet corner can offer a silence.I would dare to say even if around this area the chaos of the modern day is fervent. To conclude this review, I must inform all lovers of music, that in different periods of the year many concerts are performed, worthy of being listened to.

Very nice place to hangout here
