Introduction
The
Mystery
What is it that brings so many people to this out-of-the-way chapel? Not only is Rosslyn Chapel (or, to give it its official title, the Collegiate Church of St Matthew) a stunning example of late medieval architecture and the stonemason’s art, but it contains many clues that it is more than just a place of worship – and even that it was never intended to be simple a Christian church.

History of Rosslyn Chapel
The mastermind behind the project
was Sir William St Clair, known as 'Prodigus', 3rd Prince of Orkney. Sir
William was the grandson of Prince Henry St. Clair of Orkney, known as 'the
Navigator', who many believe led an expedition to America a hundred years
before Columbus's 'discovery' of the New World. More...
The Mystery of the Carvings
Although ostensibly, like
other collegiate churches, Rosslyn Chapel was intended as a place of
Christian learning, there is much to suggest that Sir William St Clair's
intentions were, to say the least, unorthodox. More...

What lies beneath Rosslyn Chapel?
It has long been
speculated that the chapel was designed to hide something of great importance
- a treasure or sacred object. There are legends of treasure attached to
Rosslyn Castle and some believe that it is the treasure of the Templars that
Philip IV of France failed to seize when he suppressed the Order in
1307. More...
Rosslyn Chapel & the Thule Society
On 9 May 1930 Dr
Karl Hans Fuchs, a former member of the Thule Society - the occult/mystical
group that flourished in Munich in the early 1920s and which was closely
associated with the origins of the Nazi Party - visited Rosslyn Chapel. While
visiting the Edinburgh Theosophical Society, Fuchs informed the members that
he had been sent to Scotland. More...
Earth Energy at Rosslyn Chapel
Dowsers and
diviners recognise Rosslyn Chapel as a place of power. It lies at the
conjunction of two major ley lines, and within the grounds and the chapel
itself master dowsers have reported dramatic reactions to upwellings of
energy. One remarkable sign of the energy appeared overnight on the altar
stone. More...

According to local
tradition, treasure worth 'several million pounds' is buried beneath the
castle vaults, and is guarded by one of the St Clair ladies, who, like
sleeping beauty, sleeps through the centuries. If she can somehow be
awakened, she will point to the place where the treasure is buried, and when
this happens Rosslyn Castle will rise from its ruins. More...
