St Trinian's Church

The stone walls of St Trinian's Church rise at the foot of Greeba Hill, measuring 73 feet long and 19 feet wide with a 21-foot belltower.

The chapel stands on a religious site from the 6th century, later rebuilt between 1200-1230 as a dependency of St Ninian's Priory in Wigtown, Scotland.

The church features ancient stone slabs from the 10th century, including carved human heads and crosses with possible runic inscriptions marking burial sites.

Located along the A1 Douglas to Peel road, the roofless structure remains open for visitors to explore the medieval architecture and carved stone elements.

Local folklore attributes the missing roof to a Buggane, a supernatural creature from Manx mythology who repeatedly destroyed the church's covering.
