Churches, Monasteries and Chapels

Each Parish on the Isle of Man, of which there are many, has traditionally had its own Church and often the Parish is named after the church; for example Kirk Braddan.

Around the Island, you can find these Parish churches along with many other chapels. Ancient Keeills, small derelict churches, are commonplace in the countryside. One of these is Lag ny Keeilley which sits in an isolated spot along an old pack horse route on the West coast of the Island.
