DUKE CHAPEL

 

 

Duke Chapel, at the top of Chapel Drive on West Campus, is one of the last great examples of the Collegiate Gothic architectural style in the United States.  Opened in 1932, it has a 210-foot-high tower, a 50-bell carillon, 77 stained glass windows, three pipe organs and seating for 1,600 people.
