Pittenweem, High Street, Parish Church And Tolbooth Steeple
Pittenweem, High Street, Parish Church And Tolbooth Steeple, Category A listed religious complex in Pittenweem, Scotland
The Parish Church and Tolbooth Steeple stands on High Street with a four-stage tower, featuring sandstone dressings and a circular stair turret at its northeast corner.
Built in 1588 as part of Pittenweem Priory, the tolbooth received a fifth stage in 1630, complete with an ashlar stone construction and a balustraded parapet.
The structure combines religious and civic functions, containing both a parish church for worship and a former municipal space with a council chamber.
The building maintains regular church services and contains multiple architectural features, including a clock installed by John Smith in 1773.
The tolbooth holds a bell cast at Jurgen Putensen's foundry in Stockholm in 1663, marking centuries of timekeeping for the local community.
