While the medieval main tower is still standing, only ruins remain of its other sections, some of which date to the 12th century.

[2][1] Formerly Peterhead Parish Church of Peterugie,[1] held by the Bishop of Dunkeld, it transferred to Deer Abbey in 1218.

Earl Marischal's estates were confiscated in 1716, and the church was sold to York Buildings Company in 1720.

It went bankrupt in 1786, and it was sold to the Trustees of Merchant Maiden Hospital and Mary Erskine in 1728.

[2] The church was originally given Category A listed status in 1971, but it was elevated to being a scheduled monument in 2016.
