St George's Church, Isle of Man

St George's Church stands on a hillside overlooking Douglas Harbour, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with a prominent bell tower containing twelve bells.

The construction of this religious building began in 1761 but faced a delay until 1776 due to financial constraints, finally reaching completion in 1781.

The church functions as both a religious center and a concert venue, maintaining regular worship services while hosting musical performances throughout the year.

Visitors can access the church from Tuesday to Friday between 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM, with facilities including wheelchair access and a hearing-aid loop system.

The church houses an organ from 1741 by Harris & Byfield, which was used during the first performance of Handel's Messiah in Dublin in 1742.
