Princeton University Chapel is located in the Princeton University main campus in Princeton, New Jersey. It was designed by Ralph Adams Cram in 1921, in his signature Collegiate Gothic style. The chapel was built between 1924 and 1928 to replaces an older chapel that burned down in 1920. It seats almost 2,000 people and it is the third largest university chapel in the world.
Most of the interior is limestone, but the aisles and the central area of the choir are Aquia Creek sandstone. The chapel's iconography consist of over 900 square meter of stained glass, as well as stonework and wood carvings. Today, the chapel is operated by the university Office of Religious Life, hosts ecumenical Christian services, Roman Catholic mass, and other special events, such as service of Remembrance, Baccalaureate, and concerts.
