Church of the Holy Rude

The Church of the Holy Rude is the second oldest building in Stirling, Scotland, after Stirling Castle. The church was founded in 1129 during the reign of David I (1124 - 1153) as the parish church of Stirling.

 

This makes the Church of the Holy Rude, Gloucester Abbey (now Cathedral) and Westminster Abbey the only churches in Britain still in use to this day that have been the sites of coronations.
