St Olave's Church, York, Medieval parish church in Marygate, York, England.
The stone church features a substantial tower, north aisle windows added in the 1720s, and a 15th-century east window with stained glass panels.
Earl Siward of Northumbria established the church before 1055, making it the first church worldwide dedicated to Saint Olav of Norway.
The Academy of St Olave's organizes musical performances throughout the year, maintaining a strong tradition of classical concerts in the church.
Located near Museum Gardens and Marygate Car Park, the church remains open during daylight hours with regular services on Sundays and Fridays.
The church bells, cast in 1789 by Robert Dalton, represent the last complete peal produced by a York bell founder.
