Stunning chapel on a stunning campus. Far and away the prettiest university we visited on our college road trip (and we saw some really pretty campuses).
A beautiful, architecturally exceptional, humbling, solemn and enveloping space… even for someone who isn’t religious. The stained glass is glorious. At a certain time each day the sun shines directly through the windows and the grand sandstone walls on the opposite side become joyously illuminated (see one of the photos I posted here). Every detail inside and out was thoughtfully designed and executed by craftspeople, inspired by European architecture.
A docent shared that the pinecones sculpted into the exterior are a nod to the Pine family who helped pay the $2.5 million for its construction.
This is a treasure surrounded by other architectural treasures you want to see!
Baptized my son here and let me tell you.... this chapel is simply AMAZING!!!!! Princeton University is full of eye catching architecture that will have you standing there and stating for minutes at a time. This chapel is one of those buildings. The real beauty lies on the inside. If the doors are open and you are able to walk in, you must check it out. The stained glass, woodwork, organ and the open large space will captivate. Check this place out!!!! Top 3 most beautiful chapels I've ever been in.
Beatiful place. Anyone going to princeton must visit the university. Architecture is amazing and you will feel as if you are in ancient Rome or Italy.
I went there for a random visit to see fountain of freedom and i loved the campus as well. As a visitor you cant go inside buildings but you can visit the campus. And you can get roadside paid parking as well. Have fun!
