1 review of The Round Church

Church of Kilarrow

The most traditional church in Bowmore, this is also used as a site for primary school functions. The most eye-catching thing about it is its architecture, with a square tower front that, rather than joining a more standard rectangular body, meets with a completely round main section. Many think that it is a modern construction because of its unusual style, but in fact this Calvinist church dates back many centuries.

We can see this for a few reasons: for example, it was originally called the Church of Kilarrow, and we know that Kilarrow was the village that Bowmore was built over in the late eighteenth century.

Secondly, the church's cemetery contains some seventeenth century graves. The building that we see today is not the original church, but dates back to the eighteenth century. It is still in full operation, and is one of the social centers of the city, besides being a real tourist attraction for visitors to Bowmore.
