Princeton University's Chapel is amazing! The word 'chapel' conjures up the image of a small space for quiet reflection and prayer. While it is quiet, as it should be, it is anything but small. The chapel is beautiful and very large. Built around 1920 I believe and in the collegiate gothic style as many of Princeton's building are it is a wonderful place to visit if you are in Princeton. Just a short walk, maybe 100 yards into the campus from Nassau Street, you will come to the front entrance. When inside turn around to see the huge pipe organ in the balcony above the entrance. Christmas concerts there are amazing! Very cool place that is worth the visit especially if you like gothic architecture.

See the spectacular Tiffany window at this church, built in 1910 in 'perpendicular Gothic" with a pipe organ and a carillon tower. The church opens to a busy corner of Nassau Street, opposite the university. In the paneled sanctuary and adjoining reception room are renowned stained glass windows (including the Tiffany window of St. George and the Dragon and an entire wall mural from the Lederle studio). Also the Corson chapel is available for meditation and the carillon plays at noon. Tours offered on Fridays and Sundays from noon to 1:30 and by appointment. Everyone is also welcome before and during 9:30 and 11 a.m. services (10 a.m. in summer). Wheelchair accessible. Restrooms available.
