St Moluag's Church (Teampull Mholuaidh)
Teampall Mholuaidh
A 12th-century stone chapel in the village of Europie, near the Butt of Lewis. It is simple and ancient, and still occasionally hosts Scottish Episcopal services.
Teampull Mholuaidh is located in the village of Europie, about 1.5 km south of the Butt of Lewis. Tradition holds that it was built in the 12th century. It is one of the better-preserved medieval churches in the Outer Hebrides. Its thick stone walls and small windows give it a simple, ancient look. After restoration in the early 20th century, it came under the use of the Scottish Episcopal Church. A short walk along a field path from the roadside takes you there. It can be visited together with the Butt of Lewis lighthouse and Europie Beach.
