The parish church of St Serf's in Dunning, supposedly marks the site where the saint slew a dragon which had been terrorising the village. The earliest church was built around 1200. The local Rollo family became landowners in 1391 and this family was probably responsible for the alterations carried out after the Reformation. In 1716, the village of Dunning was burned by the Jacobite army but St Serf's survived and served as the parish church until 1972.

Originally a rectangular nave, a narrower chancel and a square tower, in 1687 the "laird's loft" was added. In approx. 1808, the north aisle was added, the roof raised, and the old chancel widened and galleries inserted.

Under the care of Historic Scotland, the church is now home to the Dupplin Cross which commemorates the Pictish King Constantine, dating from circa AD 800.
