Kingsbarns Parish Church

References to the Holy Trinity in St Andrews can be traced back over 1,000 years and the oldest parts of the current building are the tower and some of the pillars, which date back to the church built here in 1412.

St Athernase has a commanding hilltop position over the town and, thankfully, since its construction in the 12th century, waves of neglect and 'improvement' have not harmed its most distinctive Norman feature: the elaborate 12th century chancel and apse at the east end.

This fine example of the work of the distinguished Scottish church architect, Dr Peter MacGregor Chalmers, stands on the town's main street and was opened for worship in 1902.
