By the early 1900s Llantrisant had eight chapels, as well as the [[Llantrisant Church|Llantrisant Parish Church]]<ref name="Freemen2"/> Only two religious buildings remain. The elder is the church of 'y tri sant'. The three saints to which the church is dedicated are [[Illtud|St. Illtyd]], [[St. Gwynno]] and [[St. Dyfodwg]]. The site is believed to have been a place of Christian worship since at least the 7th century, and in 1096 the parish church was built and dedicated. The church was rebuilt by Richard de Clare in 1246 in the Norman style<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parishofllantrisant.org.uk/|title=Parish of Llantrisant|website=www.parishofllantrisant.org.uk|access-date=31 May 2008|archive-date=16 May 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516090538/http://www.parishofllantrisant.org.uk/|url-status=live}}</ref> and in the 15th century the tower was added. Its interior houses an [[effigy]] of a 13th-century warrior, believed to be [[Cadwgan]], lord of [[Miskin]], a valuable Welsh [[church monument]]. The interior was restored in 1874 by Welsh neo-gothic designer [[John Prichard]]. The former parish office built 1873 on George Street is now a private home.

The second religious building in Llantrisant is Tabor Baptist Chapel, built in 1828. It is in on an elevated site next to Llantrisant Castle, accessed by steps from the High Street.
