Keith, Chapel Street, St Thomas' Catholic Church, Roman Catholic church in Keith, Scotland

St Thomas' Catholic Church features a cruciform design with neoclassical elements, a copper-clad dome, and polished ashlar sandstone on its east facade.

Built between 1830 and 1831 under Father Walter Lovi's direction, the church replaced a previous chapel at Kempcairn and received financial support from Charles X of France.

The altar displays a painting by François Dubois depicting the Incredulity of Saint Thomas, retrieved from The Louvre before the church's opening in 1831.

Located at the highest point of Keith on Chapel Street, the church underwent renovations in 1916 to expand its capacity to 500 parishioners.

The central dome features a pattern of gold stars against a dark blue background, complemented by Corinthian pilasters and oval windows.
