The Round Church Tourism

The Round Church, also known as The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, is one of the oldest and most treasured buildings in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Built around 1130, it's one of only four medieval round churches still in use in England. Inspired by the rotunda in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, it was constructed by the Fraternity of the Holy Sepulchre, modelled after the original in the Holy Land. Over time, the church has undergone various modifications, including extensive restoration in the 19th century. The Round Church is built of Barnack limestone and clunch with a conical roof and a circular nave – a style influenced by Roman architecture. Today, it operates not only as a church but also as a visitor centre, providing guests with informative exhibits about the history of Cambridge and its university. The Church is a Grade I listed building, denoting it of exceptional interest, and it continues to be a significant testament to the city's religious and architectural heritage.
