Church of St Mary
The village church, St. Mary's, dates from the late 12th century but has been extensively renewed since that time including an almost complete rebuilding in 1876.{{cite web |title= Church of St Mary , Cyffylliog|url=http://www.cpat.demon.co.uk/projects/longer/churches/denbigh/16640.htm |website=Denbighshire Churches Survey |publisher=Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) |access-date=15 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090108161118/http://www.cpat.demon.co.uk/projects/longer/churches/denbigh/16640.htm |archive-date=8 January 2009 |date=8 January 2009 |url-status=dead}} Although the church has been arduously restored, it retains its late medieval ceiling and an unusual Georgian ‘hearse house’.{{cite book |title=Enjoy Medieval Denbighshire |author=Dr Charles Kightly |publisher=Denbighshire County Council }} The church is open for private prayer at all times.
The village also has a Presbyterian chapel, Salem Chapel.The Presbyterian Church of Wales: [http://www.ebcpcw.org.uk/English/churches/194 Salem, Cyffylliog]. Accessed 15 April 2013.
