The ruins of Portpatrick old parish church are situated on the north side of St Patrick Street in the centre of the village. The church, dedicated to Saint Andrew rather than Saint Patrick, was built in 1628-29 to serve the newly created Portpatrick parish. It was built in a cruciform or Greek cross plan and may be the earliest cruciform church in Galloway.
