St Fillan’s Church in Aberdour will be closed for the festive season after a fire destroyed its organ.
Churchgoers were turned away on Sunday after fire broke out around 9am.
Two appliances were sent to the scene and crews took just under an hour to get the incident under control.
It is understood the interior of the building may have suffered some smoke damage and the flooring was also affected.
Services will be held in the church hall on High Street while the building is repaired.
It is not known how the fire started.
St Fillan’s dates back hundreds of years, to the early 12th Century, when it was granted to Inchcolm Abbey at its foundation in 1123.
It fell into ruin over the years, but was restored in 1925-26.
Aberdour Community Council chairman Arthur Lloyd said the number of people attending services has been growing.
“It’s a popular church,” he said. “Since the Rev Peter Gerbrandy-Baird came to the village some nine years ago, the congregation has steadily increased.”
