  Today we went to Duke University Chapel and it was amazing. The stain glass was very beautiful as well as the gothic styles. I highly recommend this church!  more »

  This Christian chapel is the most amazing architecture on campus. The stained-glass windows tell stories from the Bible. A must-see if you are visiting Durham.  more »

  Incredible place of worship. Truly awe inspiring. Inspired by European architecture, it’s a small cathedral type chapel that is open to anyone who would like to join in for a Sunday liturgy.

  The architecture is truly beautiful. Walking into the chapel brings a sense of calm. Duke's campus makes you feel like you are in England - the stone, the crenenlation on the buildings, the flying buttresses of the chapel and the quads of the dorms. Definitely worth stopping in to see
