Holy Trinity Church, St Andrews, Church of Scotland parish church in St Andrews, Scotland
Holy Trinity Church is a stone building on South Street featuring a northwestern tower with spire that defines the townscape. Inside, decorative stained glass windows and a wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling supported by arcade arches create the main interior spaces.
The church was originally founded in 1144 and relocated to its current South Street location between 1410 and 1412. These two building phases trace the development of St Andrews' religious center across centuries.
The church remains central to St Andrews' religious life and displays Scottish military heritage through regimental badges visible in the upper windows. These elements connect the building to the town's identity and its people's traditions.
You can visit Tuesday through Friday mornings from 10 AM to noon, with extended access until 12:45 PM during summer months from June to September. It helps to check ahead for current opening times and any special services taking place.
