Holy Trinity Church, St Andrews, United Kingdom

The Category A listed Holy Trinity is the most historic church in St Andrews. The church was initially built on land, close to the south-east gable of the Cathedral, around 1144, and was dedicated in 1234 by Bishop David de Bernham. It then moved to a new site on the north side of South Street between 1410–1412 by bishop Warlock. Much of the architecture feature of the church was lost in the re-building by Robert Balfour between 1798–1800. The church was later restored to a (more elaborately decorated) approximation of its medieval appearance between 1907–1909 by MacGregor Chambers.

I attend this church regularly. The congregation is very welcoming and our Reverend Liz is very bright and articulate. Brilliant Scottish Episcopal church.

Holy Trinity Church in the centre of St Andrews is a special place, sometimes referred to as the Cradle of the Reformation in Scotland. Built in 1412, it has been re-ordered twice since then. It is a place of beauty and atmosphere with wonderful stained-glass and woodwork. The Holy Trinity Church is located in the centre of St Andrews town. There is no Church parking on-site. However, on-street parking is offered by Fife Council. Parking in town is free on Sundays until 1pm.

Beautiful historic church in St. Andrews, Scotland! A must visit if you are in the area. They have some exhibitions on display throughout the church building and frequently host musicians and choirs for their concerts! If you get a chance you should also climb the carillon tower to see the bells and a nice view of the surroundings.

Don’t live near this place. They ring the bells every fifteen minutes from 3am to midnight.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
