St Rule's Church
圣鲁尔教堂

The small building now known as St Rule's Church was once St Andrews' main cathedral. It was probably built in the early twelfth century, perhaps by workmen from northern England. The church is in the Romanesque (or Norman) style that was then popular across much of Europe. Its high tower is visible for many miles, and may have been designed to guide seafarers to St Andrews. In the late twelfth century St Rule's was superseded by the much larger cathedral whose ruins it stands beside. Nevertheless, the old church remained important to the canons of St Andrews Cathedral, and an image of St Rule's was used on the cathedral canons' seal for official documents until after the Reformation.

这个现在被称为圣鲁尔教堂的小建筑曾经是圣安德鲁斯主要的教堂。它可能是十二世纪初由来自英格兰北部的工人建造的。圣鲁尔教堂是罗马式(又被称为诺曼式)的教堂, 这个风格在那个时期流行整个欧洲。教堂的高塔在许多英里之外就可以看到,它的设计目的可能是为前来圣安德鲁斯的海员导航。在十二世纪末，圣鲁尔教堂被一个大很多的主教堂取代了，这个大主教堂的位置就在圣鲁尔教堂旁边，现在只剩下了废墟。然而,圣鲁尔教堂对于圣安德鲁斯大教堂的教士们依然很重要, 圣鲁尔教堂的图像被用在大教堂教士们的印章上, 直到宗教改革运动之后。
