St Athernase Church, Leuchars, Norman church in Leuchars, Scotland.
The church features a half-round apse and chancel with blind arcading and Norman arches, showcasing intricate details on the exterior walls.
Robert de Quinci constructed this religious building between 1183 and 1187, alongside his project of building the nearby Leuchars Castle.
Three memorial stones from the 16th century honor the Bruce family of Earlshall, including a detailed portrayal of female clothing from that period.
The building opens for visitors from March through October, with regular Sunday services held at 11:00 AM throughout the year.
Mason marks found within the church share similarities with those discovered at Durham Cathedral, indicating connections between these Norman structures.
